Critics warn move does not mean freedom for detained activist and his Russian partner.
Dissident journalist Roman Protasevich, who was dramatically detained in Minsk last month after his plane was forced to land in Minsk, has been moved to house arrest, according to Belarusian opposition figures. Protasevich, 26, was arrested on May 23 along with his Russian partner Sofia Sapega, 23, after Belarusian authorities scrambled a fighter jet to intercept their Ryanair jet in response to an alleged bomb threat. They were accused of helping to coordinate anti-government protests last year, which grew after longtime President Alexander Lukashenko claimed a sixth term in a disputed August election.
