[A Ryanair plane flying from Greece to Lithuania
has been diverted to Minsk,
with Belarusian opposition figures
saying it was done so a dissident
journalist on board could be arrested.
The opposition Nexta channel on
Telegram said its ex-editor
Roman Protasevich had been detained.
Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda
accused Belarus of an "abhorrent action"
and demanded his release.
Belarus state media said the plane
had been diverted because of a bomb scare.
Opposition leader Svetlana Tikhanovskaya,
who was beaten by Alexander Lukashenko
last year in presidential polls widely
denounced as rigged,
also demanded Mr Protasevich's release.]
