Protasevich vs Lukashenko

Western media rightly condemned the aviation piracy in Belarus to kidnap a critic. However the coverage was hyperbolic and partial. Both CNN and the BBC claimed that no nation had ever done this before, but in 2013 the jet of the Bolivian President was forced to land and be searched in case Edward Snowden was on board.
