“The use of forced interviews by Ramanas Pratasevičius for the regime’s television advertising is not normal, Youtube. Remove it. Please,” the minister said on a social network Twitter account Tuesday night, sharing a Tadeusz post Giczan, editor-in-chief of Telegram’s Nexta channel.

You have a screenshot showing an advertisement from the Belarusian state news agency BelTA with R. Pratasevicius on the YouTube platform before the video.

“Interesting fact: For almost a year, the Belarusian state news agency BelTA has been using hostage videos similar to the one shown by R. Pratasevich for paid advertisements targeting pro-government Telegram channels. We have tried everything, but Youtube says that there is nothing wrong with that, “Giczan wrote.

The video was released on Belarusian state television on Monday.

“Hello, my name is Ramanas Pratasevičius. Yesterday I was detained by the Interior Ministry staff at the Minsk National Airport. I am currently in the first interrogation cell in the city of Minsk. I can affirm that I did not have any health problems , also due to the heart or other organs. The treatment that the employees give me is as correct and in accordance with the law as possible. I am currently cooperating with the investigation and giving testimony about the organization of the mass riots in Minsk, “he said the 26-year-old dissident journalist.

On Sunday afternoon, a Ryanair passenger plane flying from Athens to Vilnius landed at Minsk airport. He had approached Lithuanian airspace, but was forced to head to the capital of Belarus.

Ryanair reported that the plane with more than 100 passengers landed at Minsk airport when Belarusian air dispatchers reported a possible security threat on board. This information was not confirmed later.

In addition, Belarus had raised a MiG-29 fighter plane and a Mi-24 military helicopter.

R. Pratasevičius flew this plane. When the plane landed in Minsk, he was detained, as was his girlfriend, Sofia Sapega, a Russian citizen and a student at the European University of Humanities in Vilnius.
