and demanded his release.

LBC said a Fighter Pilot
escorted the Plane
he was arrested.

Shocking. The audacity.

MP Tom Tugendhat

Labour MP Lisa Nandy
is demanding to see the Belarusian Ambassador.

But its nothing to do with UK

so?

why is this world news

:shrug:


i don't see the big deal of this, but more food for the extreme far right media to go attacking Lukashenko

A Fighter Jet
flying alongside a Commercial Flight
No Nicky
that stinks.

''because of a bomb scare.''

isn't a fighter jet escort a protocol for a suspected bomb on board scenario?

That was Fake
It was a made up story.
Fooled you - easy enough

A bomb scare that handily ended in the arrest of a journalist....mmm

shocking invasion of a commercial aircraft

its state terrorism, we can't be having that, so there will be reprisals of some sort

reprisals from whom, the cowardly bitch ursula von der leyen :idc:

Take out their government in an air strike i say.

that's murder

Yes Bring the Plane down
pretend looking for a bomb
use dogs.

Then Arrest the Journalist
they want silenced.

They need the diplomatic equivalent of having their teeth kicked in. The EU need to be incredibly harsh with their reprisal to this act of terrorism.

Yes the EU is working on a Legal Rule

There were 4 others with Russian passports who didn't get back on the plane so they believe they were involved as well.

Hopefully they aren't soft. Hijacking a plane should come with seismic consequences.

Belarus aren't part of the EU, are they? Not really sure what the EU could do.
