It was also reported about the detention of his girlfriend, Russian woman Sofia Sapega.
In Belarus, Protasevich is accused of several articles, including organizing mass riots. Telegram channel NEXTA is considered by the Belarusian authorities to be extremist.
After the incident, the EU is considering introducing a ban on its aircraft to enter the airspace of Belarus. The Latvian airline AirBaltic has decided to stop flights over Belarus.
