Lithuania Asks All Citizens To Leave Belarus As Global Outrage Continues by fergie001: 2:54pm On May 24, 2021 |
Bearing in mind the incident of 23 May, when a Ryanair passenger plane flying from Athens to Vilnius was forced to land, thus posing risks to the security and a threat to the lives of civilians, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly recommends Lithuanian citizens against all travel to the Republic of Belarus and urges all Lithuanian citizens in Belarus to leave the country. Lithuania Foreign Affairs Ministry #BREAKING Lithuania says banning all flights to or from its airports from crossing Belarus airspace from Tuesday SOURCE World reacts to plane ‘hijacking’, arrest of journalist The outrageous and illegal behaviour of the regime in Belarus will have consequences. European Commission President, Ursula Von der Leyen Very concerned regarding reports of a forced landing of #Ryanair flight in Minsk. European Council President, Charles Michel Closely monitoring forcible landing in #Belarus of flight to Vilnius & reported detention of opposition figure Roman Protasevich. This is a serious & dangerous incident which requires international investigation. Belarus must ensure safe return of crew & all passengers. NATO Secretary-General, Jens Stoltenberg Unprecedented event! A civilian passenger plane flying to Vilnius was forcibly landed in #Minsk. Belarusian political activist & founder of @NEXTA_EN was on the plane. He is arrested. Belarusian regime is behind the abhorrent action. I demand to free Roman Protasevič urgently! Lithuanian President, Gitanas Nauseda The UK is alarmed by reports of the arrest of @nexta_tv journalist Roman Protasevich & circumstances that led to his flight being forced to land in Minsk. We are coordinating with our allies. This outlandish action by Lukashenko will have serious implications. The UK Foreign Secretary, Dominic Raab [/b] Belarusian authorities' hijacking of @Ryanair flight is unacceptable. A firm and united response from the Europeans is essential. All passengers on this flight, including any Belarusian opponents, must be allowed to leave #Belorussia without delay. French Foreign Affairs Minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian It is utterly unacceptable. This is an Irish Airline with EU citizens on board, forced to land in Minsk, while travelling between EU cities. A strong an united response from EU needed. Irish Foreign Affairs Minister, Simon Coveney I condemn in the strongest terms the detention of Roman Protasevich by Belarussian authorities, after a Ryanair passenger aircraft was hijacked. This is a reprehensible act of state terrorism. Polish President, Mateusz Morawiecki ICAO is strongly concerned by the apparent forced landing of a Ryanair flight and its passengers, which could be in contravention of the Chicago Convention. We look forward to more information being officially confirmed by the countries and operators concerned. International Civil Aviation Organisation The forced landing of a commercial plane to detain a journalist is an unprecedented, shocking act. We demand all passengers’ immediate release. Tomorrow’s #EUCO must address the need to step up pressure on Belarus. Enough is enough. Greek Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis The United States strongly condemns the forced diversion of a flight between two EU member states and the subsequent removal and arrest of journalist Raman Pratasevich in Minsk. We demand his immediate release. This shocking act perpetrated by the Lukashenka regime endangered the lives of more than 120 passengers, including U.S. citizens. Initial reports suggesting the involvement of the Belarusian security services and the use of Belarusian military aircraft to escort the plane are deeply concerning and require full investigation. US State Department Spokesperson, Ned Price Lukashenka’s unrestrained efforts to imprison and silence political foes hurts the country’s people, its international reputation, as well as its economy. Add commercial aviation safety to the long list of risks of doing business with Belarus. US Ambassador to Belarus, Julie Fisher Today #Belarus forcefully landed @Ryanair plane in #Minsk and imprisoned Roman #Protasevich, journalist, activist & close associate of @Tsihanouskaya. This is absolutely unacceptable. Slovenia calls for the immediate release of all passengers and independent intl investigation. Foreign Affairs Ministry, Slovenia Belarusians need decisive actions & help of the international community. Forcing @Ryanair plane to land to detain Raman Pratasevich is the result of the regime's impunity. This is a real internal occupation. exiled Belarusian opposition leader, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya The deviation by Belarus and forced landing of a @Ryanair plane in Minsk and arrest of journalist Roman Pratasevich are a serious interference in civil aviation and a clear attack on media freedom. Canada calls on #Belarus to free Mr. Pratasevich. Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister, Marc Garneau The fact that a flight between EU countries was forced to make a stopover under the pretext of a bomb threat is a serious interference with air traffic. We are very concerned about reports that journalist Roman Protasevich was arrested on the way. German Foreign Affairs Minister, Heiko Maas The forced landing of a passenger plane in Belarus today to detain a journalist is absolutely unacceptable. Irish Prime Minister, Micheal Martin Joint call for all flights to, from, and over Belarus to be suspended and for sanctions on the Lukashenko regime from the chairs of the Parliament foreign affairs committees of Ireland, UK, US, Poland, Germany, Estonia, Czechia, Latvia, Lithuania SOURCE Whilst Lithuania is a member of the EU, Belarus isn't a member of the EU. Belarus is an ally of Russia's. It is shocking that the West calls the incident in the airspace of Belarus "shocking". Russia Foreign Affairs Spokesperson, Maria Zakharova 3 Likes

They made the miscreant of a journalist more popular. I see him becoming a future president if he contest because the global community in his favour will want to listen to him. No thanks to a stupid decision by the government that lend him a voice 41 Likes 3 Shares |

The way power corrupts people is a mystery. Another thing that baffles me is now People in power are scared of of ordinary and harmless critics. Imagine Reno Omokri traveling from Ghana to Cameroon, intel got to Buhari and he directs NAF to send a fighter jet to make sure the plane lands in Nigeria Airspace or shoot it down by saying a bomb is inside the plane. Na wa ooooo! 14 Likes 2 Shares

But when Dele Giwa was letter-bombed, this number of reactions was not generated. The black nations of Africa are completely irrelevant in the scheme of things. One may wonder why but when you are created by whites and even named by whites, it shows you don't even know your identity anymore. It's only pets you own and give names unchallenged! And that's what Nigeria is to Britain. Ghana realised this and changed their name from the stupid Gold Coast they were once called. Blacks, blacks, blacks, your brains do not work. What is worse is that you are shameless ontop of it. 40 Likes 4 Shares |
