I would qualify what happened to the Ryanair airliner as a hijacking carried out at the state level by dictator Lukashenka, whom we do not officially recognize, Michael McCall shared his opinion. The journalist on board (Raman Pratasevich - Voice of America) was a dissident who opposed Lukashenka s legitimacy and, therefore, was a threat to him. That s why they took him into custody and charged him. From a moral point of view, this is outrageous.

The rationale was to get away from place-of-origin names, such as South African variant or UK variant, which can be stigmatizing as well as potentially inaccurate.
