Truly shocking and unprecedented: Ryanair flight carrying Belarusian journalist critical of the regime forced to land in Minsk. The journalist was subsequently arrested and faces 15 years in prison. A true nightmare. This is why I’ll never fly over Russia. https://t.co/0biLWFDMqz

Our FR4978 flight has landed safely in Vilnius at 19:25hrs UK time (21:25hrs local time). Here is Ryanair’s statement on today’s diversion to Minsk Airport 👇
Mad news out of Belarus, where authorities forced a @Ryanair flight to land in Minsk over a bomb threat. The seems to be a pretext to arrest a founder of @nexta_tv, which was key to organizing protests against Lukashenko. He could face the death penalty!

A Ryanair flight #FR4978 from Athens to Vilnius, diverted to Minsk in Belarus earlier today.

According to reports in media a Belarus journalist, that was onboard the flight, was arrested after the diversion to Minsk.
The regime forced the landing @Ryanair plane in Minsk to arrest journalist and activist Raman Pratasevich. He faces the death penalty in Belarus. We demand immediate release of Raman, @ICAO investigation, and sanctions against Belarus.
It is utterly unacceptable to force @Ryanair flight from Athens to Vilnius to land in Minsk.
ALL passengers must be able to continue their travel to Vilnius immediately and their safety ensured.
Any violation of international air transport rules must bear consequences.
If the EU fails to respond to the Belarus crisis adequately, it will have to confront a new form of euroscepticism - one that opposes it on moral grounds. - https://t.co/VKWTz4IeXi
Aproxima-se o final do turno e eis senão quando o restaurante ‘Villa Craft Beer & Bread’ deixa este mimo - pão com chouriço - para todos os que estão a trabalhar no serviço de urgência. Muito obrigado!
O Presidente da Câmara de Reguengos passou à frente dos doentes e idosos e já está vacinado. Espero que haja hoje um verdadeiro sobressalto nacional e que esse senhor, amanhã, já não seja autarca. Foi o que se passou em Espanha com o Alcalde de Múrcia. https://t.co/vnS5EZc5uG

Presidente da Câmara de Reguengos de Monsaraz tomou vacina para a Covid-19 sem pertencer a qualquer grupo prioritário. O Coordenador do Plano de Vacinação diz que "não deveria ter sido vacinado". Esta malta nunca desilude.
