Switzerland’s authorities disabled from any messages about mining the Ryanair aircraft, which made a forced landing in Minsk. The question of the statement by the President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko on this topic, the Swiss was asked in RIA Novosti.
“Power of Switzerland did not know about the threat of a bomb on board a Ryanair flight from Athens to Vilnius. Thus, there were no messages from the Swiss authorities to the authorities of Belarus,” said Pierre-Alan Eltshinger.
Earlier it became known that the President of Austria called the “act of state piracy” and encouraged to release the liner detainees.
Incident with an emergency landing in Minsk Aircraft of the Ryanair airline, which followed Athens to Vilnius, occurred on May 23 due to the report of Belarusian dispatchers about the bomb laid on board. During the decline, the liner was accompanied by the Fighter of the MiG-29 Air Force of Belarus. The explosive device was not discovered on board, instead the security forces detained on board the former Glavreda Opposition Telegram channel Nexta Roman Protasevich.
The opposition and a number of European countries found the actual act of state terrorism and demanded to release the detainee. In turn, the Belarusian side stated that information on mining came on behalf of the Palestinian movement Hamas.
later Hamas rejected his involvement in the occurrence and condemned Minsk for the involvement of the conflict between Palestine and Israel in the situation around Protasevich’s detention. “This is outrageous and demonstrates the archaic thinking [the Belarusian government], which does not understand that now we live in a century of free media,” the deputy head of the Palestinian Musk’s Palestinian movement of Musa Aubu Marzuk said.
