A Ryanair plane flying from Greece to Lithuania has been diverted to Minsk, with Belarusian opposition figures saying it was done so a journalist on board could be arrested.

The opposition Nexta channel on Telegram said its ex-editor Roman Protasevich had been detained.

Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, beaten by Alexander Lukashenko last year in polls widely denounced as rigged and now living in exile, demanded his release.

Belarus has not officially commented.

Since August's election the 66-year-old Mr Lukashenko, who has ruled the country since 1994, has cracked down on dissenting voices, with many opposition figures either arrested or fleeing abroad.

Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda tweeted that Belarus was behind an "abhorrent action".
