The mother of the Belarusian journalist detained in the country after his flight was forced to land has shared her anguish at the situation – and called for help from international leaders.
Roman Protasevich‘s mother, Natalia, begged the “whole world and all governments” to “hear the scream of my heart, see the tears of the mother, and help him”.
It comes as the G7 and the European Union released a joint statement condemning the actions of the Belarusian government under President Alexander Lukashenko.
