“Omon came in and stopped him,” said one of the passengers, who said he saw with his own eyes the arrest of Belarusian opponent Roman Protasevich.

“We did not know what to do because they searched our bags, but at the same time they (R. Protasevičius) detained us,” said the passenger.

He said that no physical violence was used against the opposition in their presence.

“It just came to our attention then. He was very scared. I looked into his eyes and he was very sad,” the man said.

He said the whole situation was crazy.

“They were kept in the hallways for three hours,” he said.

The returning passengers were very tired.

Another English-speaking passenger said nothing was explained to them, that they searched their belongings.

“We are very tired,” he said.

It was uncomfortable

Another man opened up and felt uncomfortable.

“The plane descended abruptly, made a sharp turn and the flight attendants announced that we would be landing in Minsk. When we let go, we saw that the firefighters, the ambulances, the soldiers were waiting, ”he said.

According to the passenger, his belongings were searched after landing with the dogs.

“It just came to our attention then. We really wanted to go home,” he said.

Memorable reaction from the pilots

Another man also said that they are incredibly tired.

“Such banditry, such mockery of people, it was not seen in a long time. When suddenly the plane started to take off when we started to land in Minsk and nobody explained anything to us. When they took us through a dark tunnel and with small children , we had to stand for an hour, and then we kept it closed for six hours. Understand how close what is not freedom is what is not democracy. It is good that we are no longer there, “said the man.

He said he did not see what had happened to the Belarusian opposition.

“That man was put at the end of the line and we didn’t see him,” the man said.

He remembered the reaction of the pilots.

“The pilots saw that they were sick. They also sat for six hours and had to fly back, ”the man said.

Accompanied him to Lithuania with fighters

Another pair of passengers said they saw fighters.

“They left us in Minsk with the fighters, they took us to Lithuania with the fighters,” the young woman said.

He said they saw a guy who was arrested.

“When he found out we were going to Minsk, it was scary to look at him,” he said.

“He said he was facing the death penalty. My girlfriend and I went through all that waiting process. She stayed together, thought about how to help. But sadly, the situation is that nothing is possible,” said the man.

The woman said the hardest part was the helplessness.

“It wasn’t scary, maybe it scared other people. Stress is the result of a young person realizing what is threatening him. It’s cruel, two young men took them away and you don’t know what will happen to them, ”said the man.
