We strongly condemn any interference or requirement for landing of civil aviation operations that is inconsistent with the rules of international law.
Details of the event with flight
#FR4978
are not clear. A full investigation by competent international authorities is needed.
A Ryanair flight

from Athens to Vilnius, diverted to Minsk in Belarus earlier today.
According to reports in media a Belarus journalist, that was onboard the flight, was arrested after the diversion to Minsk.
