If you're a dictator, what you don't want is the world watching your every move -- but that's the attention Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko cast on himself Sunday.
Dubbed Europe's last dictator, Lukashenko earned Belarus a fresh round of local protests and international sanctions when he used military force to ground a RyanAir plane flying between Greece and Lithuania on Sunday. As the plane flew over Belarus' airspace, Lukashenko's government sent a MiG fighter jet to ground the flight full of civilian passengers.
And what for? To take down a journalist and his Telegram group.
Police boarded the plane and arrested Roman Protasevich, a 26-year-old journalist who runs Nexta, an anti-establishment news channel that operates mostly on the encrypted messaging app Telegram, where it has over 1.2 million subscribers in a country of about 9 million.
Online platforms are rattling restrictive regimes in Europe's east: In the aligned nations of Belarus and Russia, heroic activists like Protasevich and imprisoned Russian dissident Alexei Navalny use the twin powers of Telegram and YouTube to expose corruption and governmental malignancy.
That these dissidents are being targeted for elimination and imprisonment now, after years in the public eye, is a sign of how threatening their online presence has become to Lukashenko and Russia's president, Vladimir Putin.
"These guys have really figured out how to use the internet to counter these regimes in the last few years," William Partlett, a professor at Melbourne Law School who researches post-Soviet societies, told me on a recent phone call. Because state TV is so controlled, creative and defiant young people flocked to YouTube and Telegram, where they can create their own news channels.
While the Russian and especially Belarusian governments often target specific journalists or publications, Partlett says internet freedom has been strong in Belarus and Russia compared to a country like China.
But now that resistance movements are being so effectively built using internet platforms, that freedom might soon become more compromised.
A RyanAir flight headed for Lithuania was diverted to Belarus. Belarus claimed there was a bomb threat on board, and had a MiG jet escort the flight to Minsk airport.

Hanging by a thread Anyone living in Belarus under the age of 27 has only ever known one president. The country, also known as "White Russia," held its first free elections in 1994. They were won by Lukashenko, and he's been in power ever since.
For this reason, and for his autocratic ways, Lukashenko is known as Europe's last dictator.
Lukashenko "won" the last election held in the country, officially scoring 80% of the polls. The European Union rejects this result, and observers believe the election was actually won by Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, a school teacher and wife of a jailed opposition leader.
What followed were the biggest and most sustained protests the country has seen since independence, involving hundreds of thousands of people. Lukashenko met these democratic spasms with autocratic force: Over 30,000 protesters have been detained, reports The Economist, and over 4,000 say they've been tortured. Some have died.
Protests over last year's election were the biggest Belarus has seen since independence.

In this environment, Nexta, created by Protasevich six years go, flourished. Its YouTube channel, with over 600,000 subscribers, circulates news. Its Telegram group spreads videos of police brutality against demonstrators and serves as an organizing ground for future protests.
Several Belarusian journalists and internet channels have been targeted by the regime ever since, often with trumped-up charges of tax evasion or similar crimes. The case of Protasevich, who fled Belarus in 2019 and has since been branded a terrorist, shows that leaving the country isn't enough to keep dissidents safe.
Similar channels have frustrated Russia's government. Alexei Navalny, Russia's most prominent opposition leader, first gained traction a decade ago by blogging about Kremlin corruption. In recent years, his team set up a network of YouTube channels, spread across each region of the massive country, that countered state TV. His goal has been to unseat the Kremlin candidates in regional elections, encouraging liberal Russians to vote for whoever has the best chance to displace elected officials from Putin's United Russia party. Telegram groups are used to help organize rallies and demonstrations.
The strategy proved successful in 2018, when the United Russia party lost three gubernatorial seats.
Those in power have taken notice.
After years of suppressing Navalny -- barring him from elections, having him arrested and charging him as a foreign agent -- Putin in 2020 apparently decided to eliminate him. Navalny's underpants were reportedly smeared with a toxic agent as he traveled from Siberia to Moscow. It's indicative of a broader clampdown on freedoms, both on and offline, that's happening in the two nations. (Putin denies being behind the poisoning.)
"Navalny existed and made all these videos for years and years, but something is happening now. Now they have him in prison. They've forced down a jet to get Protasevich," Partlett explained. "They're starting to lose the internet narrative."
Despite his subsequent imprisonment, Navalny has shown that it's possible to rile regimes even from a jail cell. He regularly posts to Instagram through his lawyer, and shortly after his imprisonment his team posted a two-hour documentary on YouTube documenting a $1.5 billion mansion owned by Putin, intending to highlight the endemic graft of Russian politics. It's been viewed 116 million times.

No firewall What happens next?
Lukashenko has been met with almost universal admonishment from world leaders. The EU will ramp up sanctions, initially put in place after last year's fraudulent election, and Ukraine has banned energy imports.
"The outrageous and illegal behavior of the regime in Belarus will have consequences," warned EU President Ursula von der Leyen. "Those responsible for the RyanAir hijacking must be sanctioned."
The key outlier is Russia. "It's an independent state," said Leonid Kalashnikov, a senior member of Russia's State Duma parliament, according to state media. "If they see a threat to their security, then they must fight this threat."
As is so often the case, experts worry that the sanctions are likely to hurt Belarus' citizens more than its leader. A new rule, for instance, bars Belarus' state airliner from flying to any European airport, making it harder for citizens to escape the regime.
Just as worrying is what this means for the limited internet freedoms enjoyed in Belarus and Russia.
Russia has flirted with creating its own internet, separating itself from the world in the same vein as China, but little has come of that idea. It banned Telegram in 2018, but inadvertently blocked thousands of other websites before deciding to lift the ban, indicating that the gargantuan task of creating its own internet is out of reach.
So without the ability for widespread new-era censorship, Belarus' leader is resorting to age-old suppression tactics. The power of tools like YouTube and Telegram is evident in the desperation move of hijacking an international flight. In trying to block news on the internet, Lukashenko got attention from the world.

Extraordinary new photos have emerged of the Royal Family waiting together at Windsor Castle as they prepared to escort the Queen to her final resting place in St George's Chapel.
The pictures show a family scene that is both ordinary and - given their positions, uniforms and the intensely public nature of their grief - unlike any other.
They also offer a glimpse of the personal dynamics within the Royal Family following the much-publicised breakdown of the relationship between Prince William and his brother, Harry, and the latter's regularly criticisms of the institution following Megxit.
In the photos, a stony-faced King Charles III stands with a ceremonial sword in one hand, occasionally chatting to fellow royals including Prince Edward.
At other moments, Edward is seen talking to his brother Prince Andrew, and Prince Harry with Peter Phillips, son of Anne, the Princess Royal, as they crossed a immaculate lawn close to St George's Chapel.
Harry also shares a conversation with Anne and her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Lawrence.
Also present are other royals including Prince William and Lord Linley, one of Charles' cousins.
The week saw several rare displays of public unity between Harry and William. On September 10, the Duke of Sussex and his wife, Meghan, were invited to join the Prince and Princess of Wales to inspect floral tributes outside Windsor Castle, while yesterday William was seen appearing to direct the couple to their seats in St George's Chapel.
These pictures of the Royal Family waiting at Windsor Castle show a family scene that is both ordinary and - given their positions, uniforms and the intensely public nature of their grief - unlike any other.

The service in St George's Chapel ended with the Queen being finally laid to rest next to her parents, her sister and the Duke of Edinburgh.
Her coffin was placed in the tiny King George VI Memorial Chapel, an annexe to St George's Chapel in Windsor, with those of Prince Philip, her father George VI and the Queen Mother.
Her Majesty's wish was to be interred with her parents, her husband and the ashes of her sister Princess Margaret, away from the much larger Royal Vault in St George's Chapel.

During the televised committal service, her coffin was lowered into the Royal Vault, which contains the remains of 25 royals dating back to the 1800s.
The sovereign's personal piper Paul Burns, who had been there every morning during her final days at Balmoral, was there at the end, playing during the final moments of public mourning.
He played one last lament while the Queen's coffin was lowered into the Royal Vault, before later being moved to the King George VI Memorial Chapel along with the coffin of the Duke of Edinburgh.
Their children King Charles, the Princess Royal and their younger brothers Andrew and Edward gathered just after 7pm and were escorted to the memorial chapel without cameras present.

The gathering on the lawn at Windsor Castle was followed by a service at St George's Chapel which saw the Queen interred with her husband, Prince Philip
After the pomp and ceremony of the earlier State Funeral and committal service, details of the ‘deeply personal' service were kept private.
The Queen's father King George VI had referred to his close family as ‘us four' and they are now all reunited in the chapel.
The memorial chapel was commissioned by the Queen as a burial place for her father after his death in 1952.
He had not wanted the Royal Vault to be his final resting place, but his death at the age of 56 was unexpected, and nothing had been prepared.
The Queen paid for the tiny annexe to be added to St George's Chapel, and her father's remains were transferred there after its completion in 1969.
Her younger sister Princess Margaret left instructions asking to be cremated so her ashes could be placed alongside her beloved father in the memorial chapel.

Lifelong friend Lady Glenconner said Margaret found the alternative royal burial ground at Frogmore in Windsor Great Park too ‘gloomy'.
Her ashes were initially placed in the Royal Vault after her death in 2002 and were moved to the memorial chapel following the death of the Queen Mother just a few weeks later.
The memorial chapel became a place for private contemplation for the Queen, who would visit it when she worshipped at St George's Chapel.
The main chapel has been the resting place for royals for centuries, dating back to Edward IV in 1483, whose memorial stands in the North Quire Aisle.
Henry VIII's remains are interred in the Quire, along with those of Charles I.

Hundreds of people have gathered at a vigil dedicated to Zara Aleena, who was killed as she walked home from a night-out. The 35-year-old law graduate was only minutes from her front door when she was attacked while walking along Cranbrook Road in Ilford, east London, on June 26. On Saturday, nearly a week on from her death, a vigil organised by Ms Aleena's family is taking place to try to bring comfort to her loved ones while highlighting the epidemic of male violence against women and girls. Many of those on Cranbrook Road have donned white clothing while mourners have left dozens of bouquets of flowers and cards in tribute to Ms Aleena. Roads have been closed in the area to allow the crowd to walk the 10-minute journey from the scene of her attack to her home. Members of Ms Aleena's family led the crowd as it began tracing the walk home she would have taken. Many held flowers and pictures of Ms Aleena and wore T-shirts bearing her image. Ms Aleena's aunt, Farah Naz, stopped yards from the family's home and turned to the crowd. She said: "She was on the home stretch. Thank you so much for doing the walk and holding her in your hearts, praying for her, keeping her safe on this journey. "At this point now, we ask you to go home and thank you so much for being here today because this is our Zara, this is our issue, this is something that we must all change, it must never happen again. Thank you for being here." She then invited those who attended to place the flowers they had been carrying together on the ground. Marai Larasi, a member of campaign group Million Women Rise, said: "We're here to support the family, we're here to bring her home in spirit, we're here to honour her life, and we're here with absolute exhaustion because we're tired of vigils, we're tired of crying and we're tired of having to bury women of all ages and stages in life." The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: "Zara was an incredible woman and an inspiration to us all. "She rightly believed that every woman should be able to walk home safely and today her loved ones and so many from the local community and across the country came to finish the journey she started. "My thoughts and prayers are with them all today. "I'm clear that women should not have to change their behaviour and every woman and girl is entitled to be safe, and to feel safe - whatever the time of day and wherever they are. "We owe it to Zara to do everything possible to bring an end to violence against women and girls." Speaking to media on Friday, Ms Naz said her niece had been in her own local community, in an area she knew well where she felt safe, when she was attacked. She said the family was determined to try to "change something" and compel the political leaders of Britain to act "right now to prevent violence". She said: "(My niece) was not ignorant to the fact that women get hurt. This isn't about making the streets safe, it's about changing the mindset." Weeping, Ms Naz added: "We will never get through this, but it (the walk) will help us." The vigil took the form of a silent walk that traced the route Ms Aleena had been taking but never got to complete - "to bring her back where she belonged safely". Those attending the vigil met at 1.30pm opposite Cranbrook Rise on Cranbrook Road in Ilford, commencing the walk at 2.17pm - the time in the morning on June 26 Ms Aleena was attacked. Her family have requested attendees wear white and remain "silent and sombre" as "we walk Zara home in our hearts". Please read this powerful message from Zara Aleena's family join them in remembering her this Saturday at 1.30pm opposite Cranbrook Rise in Ilford. Let's unite to honour her life and walk her home. In anticipation of the silent vigil for Ms Aleena, women have been sharing photos of their shoes to social media with the hashtag #SafelyHomeInOurShoes. The Londoner had been returning home from a night-out when she was dragged, kicked and stamped on, prosecutors said. A post-mortem examination found she had suffered multiple serious injuries. Jordan McSweeney, 29, of Church Elm Lane, Dagenham, east London, appeared at the Old Bailey on Friday accused of murder, attempted rape and robbery. He entered no pleas and was remanded in custody. login.proxy.uwec.edu/login?qurl=https://asiaporntube.proproxy.lib.uiowa.edu/login?url=https://asiaporntube.pro

In March, my mum Isobel noticed a small swelling on the back of her upper right arm. It wasn't sore, perhaps a bit tender. I took a look and decided she'd probably pulled a muscle while gardening
About a month later, she noticed a lump on the front of her arm - a palm-sized swelling on her bicep. Again, we assumed it was a sprain. Her GP referred her to a shoulder clinic.
On June 8, while Mum was waiting to be seen, she broke her arm.
She was opening the door of a cafe when she heard and felt an almighty crack.
A week later, after X-rays and scans, she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a cancer of the bone.
As a former breast cancer surgeon who has had the disease twice, perhaps I should have seen it coming. But the truth is, like most people, I didn't. No one did.
I was heartbroken she would have to go through what I'd been through. And what she faces is far more serious: While 150 people are diagnosed with breast cancer every day in the UK, only 158 are diagnosed with osteosarcoma a year.
That's how rare it is.
Four weeks after we learned the news, on July 13, Mum had her right arm amputated. The cancer had spread through most of the bone in her upper arm and getting rid of it offered her the lowest risk of it coming back.
It was, however, too late. After the surgery, we were told it had already spread to her lungs. It's now incurable.
BLACK HUMOUR: Liz O'Riordan (right) with mum Isobel (left) in her 'one armed bandit' T-shirt
She and my father live in the same village as I do, near Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk, and I've been a general dogsbody, ferrying everyone around to appointments and helping out.
Last month she began chemotherapy at Addenbrooke's in Cambridge.
This could buy her more time if she responds well. We won't know until we try.
What's surprised me the most about this ordeal is how hard it's all been. Being a cancer surgeon - I'm retired, as my treatment made it physically impossible to continue - had done little to prepare me.
And as a patient, I just had to go through the motions. You turn up for scheduled treatment and appointments. You endure the side-effects because you have to.
But watching someone you love in pain or distress is far worse. You just want to take it away. I feel such guilt that I can't.
I feel helpless when I hear her cry out in pain. And I feel guilty when I help too much - treating her like an invalid because she has cancer, instead of letting her ask me for help when she needs it.
I'd assumed I'd never have to deal with the pain of losing Mum because, despite being given the all clear a few years back, I expected I'd die first.
I'm also getting an insight into what my death might be like if my cancer comes back.
After my diagnosis, I decided to put my anger, confusion and frustration into words: I began to blog about my experiences and found a new community of women with breast cancer who share stories and advice with honesty and warmth.
Today, I am devoted to raising awareness and encouraging discussions about these most difficult subjects.
Talking helps. We can't let fears stop us confronting the deeply personal, often uncomfortable truths about cancer. It's something one in every two of us will develop.
Roughly 460 people die in the UK every day from cancer. Millions more live with it.
Even if you 'survive', treatment can change your body and your life for ever.
That's why it's important to know not just how to live well with the disease, but also how to best support someone you love to do the same. I'm proud of how far I've come since those terrifying first few months of my own cancer journey.
But I was back to square one with Mum.
Here are some of the many things I wish I'd known at the start of all this…
HUMOUR HELPS… BUT SOME THINGS AREN'T FUNNY
Black humour is incredibly common among people living with cancer. Mum had been on Twitter since 2019, proudly declaring herself 'Liz O'Riordan's mum' on the social media site, to champion my campaigning. But since she started posting about her own diagnosis, she's gained a huge, supportive new fan club.
The day before her amputation, she told her nearly 4,000 followers she was about to be a 'one-armed bandit', has described herself as the 'swashbuckling chemo granny' and stayed cheery and positive.
She now wears a 'one-armed bandit' T-shirt I found online.
We've laughed so much since then and it's been a huge release of tension.
But every once in a while I'll overstep the mark.
Mum tells how I had once joked that I would have her engagement ring once she'd gone. She just went quiet. It was quite a shock and she wasn't ready to confront that. We talked about it later and I apologised. I have to remember I've had a head start and that my prognosis was better than hers.
Mum isn't ready to go there yet and I'm learning to follow her lead.
But if you can laugh, it means it's not always all doom and gloom.
ENJOY LIFE'S SMALL PLEASURES
When we came back from hospital after the diagnosis, Mum couldn't face cooking, so she and Dad had a chip butty and a Magnum ice cream. Of course, she tweeted about it. Her followers loved it and one even started a hashtag - #BeMoreIsobel - in tribute to her indomitable attitude.
It's so important to cherish those small pleasures when the future is uncertain.
Mum loves gardening and had been planning to fill her borders with plants before cancer came along.
So when nursing her broken arm, we filled them with colourful bedding plants. She says watching things grow makes her feel brighter, brings joy to her life.
And she isn't giving up on things that make her happy, despite being harder. She'll put on lippy and earrings, she's baked scones and a Mary Berry banana loaf. She jokes that the trickiest bit is getting the dough out of the bowl…

YOU CAN HELP… BUT DON'T FUSS
When I was having chemo, I told Mum and Dad not to visit. I didn't want them to see me in pain. But I later regretted this. At times my energy was so low, I'd have loved Mum to help me get comfortable in bed, rub my forehead or get me a drink.
It's that practical help which is most useful.
When Mum's arm was broken we helped her shower, get dressed and cut up her food.
For people too embarrassed to ask for help, you could offer to fill their freezer with easy meals, mow their lawn, change the bedsheets or walk their dog. But take your cues from your loved one.
We know Mum appreciates everyone's concern but she doesn't want people fussing.
DON'T BE UNPREPARED FOR THE END
Nothing can prepare you for the emotional impact of losing a loved one.
But you can take practical steps to make the aftermath less difficult.
This was something I tackled recently on my podcast 'Don't Ignore The Elephant' - where I have honest conversations with guests about subjects that normally we don't discuss.
Actress Emma Thompson's husband, Greg Wise, came on to talk about losing his sister to breast cancer. He said how important it was to have a 'death box'.
It doesn't have to be a box, but somewhere containing internet and banking passwords, instructions for the washing machine, copies of wills, funeral wishes and power of attorney.
It's uncomfortable to bring it up but it's important. Mum and I are sorting this out at the moment.

A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE CAN BE DANGEROUS
When mum was diagnosed, I knew nothing about osteosarcoma and against my better judgment, went straight to the internet.
Two-thirds of sufferers survive five years but that drops to ten to 30 per cent once the disease has spread.
I knew they were just numbers. No one can tell you if you'll be one of the lucky ones. But it still scared me silly.
Whether or not you respond to chemo is key. And that we can't predict. Mum's decided to be guided by doctors. She says: 'I'm sure there will come a time when I'll want to know more. They might say nothing's working. I'm taking it day by day.'
If you must look, get information from the big cancer charities and ignore the influencers on TikTok.
LOVED ONES CAN PICK UP ON WHAT YOU'RE HIDing
My desperate Googling led me to assume Mum wouldn't make it to Christmas.
I tried to remain positive but she saw through me.
'Within a day of my diagnosis I knew Liz thought I was as good as dead and buried,' she says. 'I hated the idea my family were talking about me behind my back.'
Hurting Mum was the last thing I wanted to do. It's a difficult path to navigate. Everyone - patients and family - will fear the worst but feel they have to put on a brave face and be relentlessly positive.
Have someone you can offload to. It'll help you worry less, so when you're with your loved ones you can support them better.
FIND A WAY TO TALK ABOUT IT ALL
Mum met a fellow patient who called her cancer 'Ethel'.
She did this so it would be easier for friends to bring it up and not feel so gloomy: 'How's Ethel?', they'd ask. She'd tell them: 'She's being a bit of a bugger,' or 'Ethel's not giving us too much bother today.'
I know that as a patient, you can feel huge guilt that you're putting those you love through so much stress - and it makes you want to close up at the moment when you need to be asking for help.
You don't have to name your cancer but do find a way to talk about it.
If you are afraid, or in pain, you need to vent. Carers also need to be able to listen.
I went into autopilot when Mum was diagnosed - cancelling things to take her to appointments, keeping busy so I didn't have to deal with my feelings. Once Mum recovered from her op, walls came crashing down. Depression hit hard and I hadn't seen it coming.
I didn't want to tell Mum that I was struggling but she needed to know. Together, as best we can, we're getting through this.
Isobel will be on Dr O'Riordan's podcast, Don't Ignore The Elephant, on October 10, on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and Spotify.
