September 9, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Raman Pratasievi\u010d, the former editor whose arrest by Belarus\u2019 security services involved passenger plane hijacking, said in a livestream interview hosted by two propaganda officials, that he had his huge damages overturned by court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On May 7, Pratasievi\u010d and two other journalists with whom he had worked for the Nexta media organization, were ordered them to pay 23.8 million rubels in damages related to the 2020 mass protests. Part of that amount was to be shared with imprisoned opposition politicians Siarhiej Cichano\u016dski, Mika\u0142aj Statkievi\u010d, Arciom Saka\u016d, D\u017amitryj Papo\u016d and journalist Ihar \u0141osik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the interview from Dubai, Pratasievi\u010d said, “Some time ago, I filed an appeal, and this fine was generally canceled.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also said that he had worked as a welder for the last three months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In May 2021, Belarusian authorities arrested Pratasievi\u010d after forcing a Ryanair plane carrying passengers from Athens to Vilnius to land in Minsk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In May 2023, the Minsk Regional Court sentenced him to eight years in prison. Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka pardoned him in May 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
