Roman Protasevic, the journalist arrested from the diverted Ryan Air flight, has been described as a personal enemy of President Lukashenko. How did he become a target for the Belarusian regime?
The 26-year-old was the news editor of the hugely successful opposition news channel Nexta during the height of the mass protests last summer in Belarus. Telegram has played a major role in organizing the protests.
BBC Europe correspondent Jan MacKenzie visited Nexa headquarters in Poland to speak to Roman’s former colleagues, who say they now fear for their lives.
