Lukashenko’s Revenge? Neo-Nazi Agitator Arrested in Belarus, EU Governments Panic

Belarusian authorities intercepted May 23 Ryanair Flight 4978 from Greece to Lithuania. After the plane landed at Minsk airport, police arrested two of the passengers, fascist provocateur Roman Dmitriyevich Protasevich (Роман Дмитриевич Протасевич) and his Russian girlfriend Sophia Sapega (Софиа Сапегa). Protasevich faces multiple charges for his role in organizing the color revolution last year that left at least four people dead and thousands injured. His arrest has prompted the EU to punish Belarus; all EU airlines are banned from travel to or through Belarusian air space.
