CNN
Sofia Sapega, the Russian student arrested alongside a Belarusian dissident journalist Roman Protasevich, appeared in a 'confession' video overnight while in detention in Minsk that was likely made under duress.
The video comes a day after a similar one featuring Protasevich, 26, in detention "confessing" to organizing mass riots in the Belarusian capital. Both videos show signs that the pair were likely speaking under duress. The videos follow Belarusian authorities taking the extraordinary measure of diverting to Minsk a Ryanair flight carrying the couple on Sunday. The plane had taken off from Greece and was bound for Lithuania.
