Minsk hijacked plane like ‘Somali pirates’

They strip you naked of your rights in your homelands and they let your energy to go out on external matters like situation in Belarus. Your energy goes nowhere instead of being used to defend your rights that actually matter to you. Don't let your attention be diverted.

I read that civilians stayed 3 hours in narrow corridors without toilet and water. They feeled danger and arrived home 7 hours later. Civilians suffered.

Yeah I am also surprised how brainwashed are some people on this forum.
They buy this frickin plandemia bullshit and at the same time they criticize Lukashenko and Belarus which is basically the last free country in Europe.
First they need to learn what is Nexta and what role it played in the protests designed to overthrow Lukashenko.
While hijacking the plane was not the most elegant thing to do, it was necessary for the state security.

if this country is a bastion of freedom, why is hijacking its citizensm, freedom os speach? - oh really?

Matthew Raphael Johnson says that there was a plan to murder the entire cabinet of Lukashenko:

Dr Matthew Raphael Johnson gives details of the foiled coup and explains why Belarus is being targeted for regime change.

Last weekend, the Russian FSB and Belarusian KGB discovered a secret cell plotting to take over the Belorussian government. They had financial support from the CIA and the major banks and were openly plotting to murder President Lukashenko, his entire family and the entire cabinet. The entire ruling party was to be liquidated by what the conspirators called the "Committee of Concord."

Aleksandr Feduta and Yury Zenkovich, an American lawyer, were the two main plotters. The recorded meetings spoke of the rapid slaughter of the cabinet and the "cleansing" of the media, courts and much of the ruling party for the sake of their own financial gain.

Lukashenko's incredible economic and social success is an embarrassment to the west, with unemployment at roughly 0.2 percent and zero debt. As Belarus is a key Russian ally, it is being targeted to begin a massive war to destroy its prosperous, Russian-based economic infrastructure.

About Luka. The most important thing is how feels average Belarusian with thero rights and low salary, not some elite group. For old Soviet stagnants Luka is the best. He oppresses Belarusian language and Belarus slowly becomes like Russia 2, only more soviet-stagnant orientated.
We know how bad were Soviet times.

Some fun facts from aviation landing stories. Here are just some of them, what I immediately remembered.

USA, 2004: the personal board of a member of the Federation Council Andrei Vavilov is landed in the American Palm Beach, the passenger is brought in for interrogation.

Turkey, 2012: the Moscow-Damascus plane is landing.

Vienna, 2013. The plane of Bolivian President Evo Morales landed in Vienna, due to the suspicion of being on board a US citizen Snowden, who also wanted to overthrow the Obama regime and coordinated the coup attempt in the United States, so there was a reason to detain him too.
Let me remind you that the president's planes have diplomatic immunity; in fact, this is the territory of another state. The aircraft of the Presidents usually belong to the Air Force, and in the case of Russia, the United States and other major powers, they are also command posts and carriers of various secret communications equipment.
So the West grossly violated international law and sat in a puddle. However, they always do it when it is profitable.

Ukraine, 2016: Belavia flight is returned to Kiev under the threat of fighters taking off, where the "Kremlin agent", citizen of Armenia Armen Martirosyan, was staying.

But on the whole, I agree that this is not the best method and it will not add to Lukashenka's popularity.

The main thing is that now Latvia is full of industry, jobs and the population breeds like cockroaches. A real showcase of capitalism.

when you are wanted in a country it is best not to fly over it, he should have avoided it, make the trip on two flights to avoid Belarus. I am not a fan of the pro-Western protests in Belarus nor in Ukraine, so I am speaking as neutral

But would you predict this can happen? As far as I know Lukashenka wasn't so direct with his actions to stop the plane

Luka tortured civilians for 3 hours depriving them of toilet and water, OMG. Let all of us who will survive lockdowns make war on this awful dictator.

Seriously, I think Belarus is far from ideal but it should be indeed freer than other European countries. And if only a part of Belarussian neighbours supported Luka when he refused to follow the plandemic histeria totally (in 2020), it would be much freer yet. Alas, every other govt was against Luka which tells a lot about them.
