Belarus journalist Roman Protasevich ‘forced into tearful confession’ – BBC News

The family of Belarusian journalist Roman Protasevich says he was coerced into making a confession on TV of organising anti-government protests.

Mr Protasevich, 26, was arrested in Minsk last month after his flight to Lithuania was diverted.

In a tearful appearance on state TV, he praised President Alexander Lukashenko and admitted attempting to topple him.
