Oh that kind of “bomb scare”
A Belarusian journalist and opposition activist is being held at an airport in Minsk after his Lithuania-bound flight was forced to land, opposition politicians and outlets said on Sunday.
Opposition figures swiftly criticized the move, which they said was a bid by the government of longtime leader Alexander Lukashenko to clamp down on critical voices.
The regime says it was a bomb scare, but one suspects it was a bomb scare in the sense that the regime yelled “bomb scare!!!” as it forced the plane to divert.
I hope that there are immediate sanctions put in place. How dare they hijack a plane? Fake bomb scares? That’s appalling.
Also, how did they know he was on that plane?
