Photo: ReutersEuropean Union leaders, who are set to hold a summit on May 24, have warned of punitive steps against Belarus over the forced diversion and landing of a Ryanair plane to Minsk that was carrying a prominent opposition journalist on an internal EU flight.
Belarusian authorities scrambled a military jet to escort the civilian plane, which was en route to Vilnius from Athens on May 23, over what turned out to be a false bomb report.
Once the plane landed, police detained Raman Pratasevich, a 26-year-old opposition activist and journalist who faces charges in Belarus that could bring 15 years in prison.
