Nearly four million refugees have fled #Ukraine since #Russia invaded. But these are hardly the only refugees fleeing war-torn countries today. Starting in 2021, the government of #Belarus has cynically used thousands of refugees displaced by wars in #Syria, #Afghanistan, #Iraq, #Ethiopia, and elsewhere as a weapon with which to exert pressure on the European Union. #EU governments have responded callously, leaving these refugees trapped in limbo between two militarized borders and establishing a restricted zone to ensure that observers could not see them dying. Despite this, anarchists organized in the #NoBordersTeam network have defied the restrictions to provide assistance to the refugees in the name of a world without borders. We spoke with anarchists mobilizing on the #border between #Poland and Belarus to learn more.

Belarus manufactures "bomb threat" to hijack airliner and kidnap opposition journalist at president's direct orders

The story's all over the news, NPR has a good summary:

Authorities in Belarus ordered a Ryanair flight to make an emergency landing in the capital city of Minsk, after reports that a bomb was on board the aircraft. Officials then boarded the plane and arrested Roman Protasevich, the former editor and founder of an opposition blog and social media channel.

No explosives were found on the plane.

The flight, which had taken off in Athens and was on its way to Lithuania, was just leaving Belarusian airspace when the bomb was reported. The Belarusian regime says it then sent a scrambled fighter jet to escort the flight to the Minsk airport.

The Ryanair flight made a kind of U-turn just before the Lithuanian border before heading back toward Minsk, according the site Flightradar24. It was closer to the Vilnius airport in Lithuania than Minsk at the time.

The act has drawn condemnation from European leaders, demanding an explanation. ...

I'll note that there's widespread open acknowledgement that:

  • The threat was entirely fabricated.
  • The orders appear to have come directly from Belarus president Alexander Lukashenko.
  • The motive was to capture an opposition journalist, travelling between two third-party countries.

There's a "data are liability" angle.

The Belarus plane hijack is a small reminder why it's generally not a good idea to let governments know who is going to where. I'm not sure why governments that like to think of themselves as democratic don't see the risks.

I'd made a similar point following the assassination of Kim Jung-nam at an Indonesian airport in 2017:

Travel and hospitality databases are widely accessible and shared amongst a tremendous number of organisations. State intelligence organisations might readily have access through their own state-run airline, or through private operations or plants within same. Similarly for terrorist, narco-criminal, money-laundering, or other organisations. Financial, banking, and payment-processing systems, only slightly less so. A P.I. license or position on a fraud or abuse desk at a major online retailer, or any skip-tracing agency, can have access to such information.

What is your threat model?

Note that your own threat model may not include possibilities which put others at risk.

In fairness, it appear that Protasevich was followed onto the plane itself, suggesting that in-flight availability of manifests played little role. The question of what pre-flight intelligence methods were employed remains open.

And yes there are parallels to earlier incidents, including the effectual grounding of the Bolivian Presidential airplane in 2017 in an attempt to intercept Edward Snowden, see https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-latin-america-23166146.

Solidarität mit den streikenden Piloten bei #Ryanair!

Der Arbeitskampf verspricht auch deshalb historisch zu werden, weil hier ein skrupelloser Konzern durch konzertiertes Vorgehen organisierter Lohnabhängiger europaweit in die Zange genommen wird.

Der nach Passagierzahlen größten Airline Europas droht mitten in der Urlaubssaison der größte #Streik ihrer 34jährigen Firmengeschichte: Piloten aus #Irland, #Belgien, #Schweden und den #Deutschland werden am 10.8.2018 die Arbeit niederlegen.
Zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt könnte die britische Airline Pilots Association (BALPA) einsteigen, die nach unbefriedigenden Tarifverhandlungen eine Urabstimmung vorbereitet,1 auch das Kabinen-Personal und Fluglotsen sind in Unruhe.
