Parents of detained Belarusian dissident plead for EU, US help

The parents of Roman Protasevich have appealed to the EU and the US to help win the release of their son from a Belarusian prison after he was detained by the Minsk regime after the forced landing of his Ryanair flight in Belarus. The West regards the forced landing as a case of state terrorism, and a number of countries, including Poland, have banned flights to and from Belarus, and the EU has imposed additional sanctions on Minsk.
