Jailed Belarus journalist Roman Protasevich attends a news conference about the emergency landing in Minsk of the Ryanair passenger plane on which he was travelling, in Minsk, Belarus. In May, an Irish airline Ryanair traveling from Greece to Lithuania made an emergency landing in Minsk over a bomb threat, which turned out to be fake. Two of its passengers, Roman Protasevich, the founder of a Telegram channel that Belarus has designated as extremist, and his girlfriend, Russian national Sofia Sapega, were detained during the stopover at the airport.
