Solidarity with EHU student Sofia Sapega

The Ryanair passenger jet heading from Athens to Vilnius was forced to land in Belarus on 23 May. This act has been described as “state piracy” and has led to the detention of European Humanities University (EHU) student, Sofia Sapega.  ECOLAS joins EHU, its partner institution, in categorically condemning the recent illegal activity of Belarus authorities in its defiance of its obligations under international law.  We wish to express our solidarity with all detained passengers and protest in the strongest terms the detention Ms. Sapega.
