On Sunday a Ryanair plane flying from Athens to Vilnius was forced to divert from its flight path and land in Minsk after the authorities said there was a bomb on board. It was escorted by Belarusian fighter jets. But on landing, a dissident journalist who's criticised the government was arrested, along with his girlfriend. No explosives were found.

European officials and politicians have condemned the move as a state hijacking.

Even before boarding, Roman Protasevich had become nervous after men had tried to take photos of his travel documents. Franak Viachorka is the senior advisor to the opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya. He was talking to Roman and his girlfriend before and during the flight - until they lost contact with them on arrival in Minsk.

"I'm afraid to think about what's happening to them right now because detention isn't the worst, the interrogation is the worst. Let's remember that Belarus is the harshest dictatorship in Europe and the methods KGB is using is very similar to the methods Stalin's KGB was using back then."
