Authorities said 'no explosives were found' regarding the forced landing, which was flooded with criticism from the international community that 'the forced landing was carried out because of Mr. Protasevic's detention.' Russia defended that 'Belarus authorities have taken transparent action and emphasized their intention to comply with all international rules,' but the EU agreed on 'Belarus sanctions' at the summit. It has decided to impose sanctions on flights in EU airspace and takeoffs and landings within the region by Belarusian aircraft.

Under these circumstances, 'A movie in which Mr. Protasevic himself in the detention center mentions this case' was released on the Belarusian pro-government Telegram channel Zheltye Slivy.

In this movie, Protasevic said, 'I'm in Minsk's SIZO (Unsentenced Detention Center) Building No. 1. I assert that I have no health problems, including the heart and other organs. Police officers treat me as fairly as possible under the law. I will continue to cooperate in the investigation and confess the fact that I have organized a large-scale riot in Minsk. ' He mentions organs because his mother claimed he had been hospitalized for heart disease.

About this movie, there is a bruise on Mr. Protasevic's head, and the video itself is very similar to the hostage talking about the ransom, so there are voices saying that he was tortured.

Mr. Protasevic's confession movie is now displayed as an 'advertisement' on YouTube, and Tadeusz Giczan, who belongs to Belarusian news giant NEXTA , said, 'Pro-government groups have been hostages of the same kind in YouTube advertisements for over a year. 'Movie' has been posted. ' Giczan also inquired YouTube about the Belarusian pro-government hostage movie, but revealed that it was 'no problem', and President Alexander Lukashenko, who is said to be 'the last dictator in Europe' I blamed the camp's way of doing things.

Fun fact: for almost a year Belarusian state news agency BelTA has been using hostage videos like the one with Roman Protasevich as paid ads on YouTube with links to their network of pro-govt telegram channels.
