After the Belarus hijack of Ryanair to bring the dissident journalist Roman Protasevich to Minsk, the international community was concerned about his welfare.
A video was released a day after an airline carrying activist Roman Protasevich on board was forced down with a fake bomb threat that eventually led to his arrest by Belarusian authorities on Sunday in Minsk's capital city, reported CNN via MSN.
The video was proof that Protasevich is alive after doubts over his safety caused a furor following suspicions the plane was brought down on orders of Belarusian strongman Alexander Lukashenko. Many world leaders criticized the Belarus leader for the plot to capture one of his dissenters.
