Six months after Raman Pratasevich, the editor of an allegedly “extremist” Belarusian exile news outlet, was arrested when his Ryanair flight was diverted to Minsk, he is still awaiting trial in an unknown location. Reporters Without Borders (RSF) reiterates its call for his immediate release and condemns the increasingly frequent use of “extremism” charges against journalists and media outlets.

This opposition journalist and former editor of the Telegram news channel Nexta is under house arrest at a secret location.
