OTTAWA – A United Nations agency is launching an investigation into Belarus’s arrest of a dissident journalist after his flight was diverted on dubious pretences last Sunday.
The governing body of the Montreal-based International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) said Thursday it will open a fact-finding probe into “the apparent forced diversion” of the airliner, which saw Belarusian authorities detain journalist Roman Protasevich and his girlfriend Sofia Sapega.
