Roman Protasevich, 26, was on a flight from Greece to Lithuania as a result of an alleged bomb threat. Western countries have accused Belarus of hijacking a Ryanair plane. The video of Mr Protasevich released on Monday by Belarusian authorities appears to have been violently recorded since his arrest at Minsk airport. In the clip, the journalist said he was in good health and confessed to the crimes allegedly reported by the Belarusian state. But activists, including the country’s main opposition leaders, criticized the video and suggested that Mr. Protasevich was under pressure to accept the evil. #BBCAnews.
