United States charges four Belarus officials with aircraft piracy

US has now charged four Belarusian officials with aircraft piracy, this is in response to last year's diversion of the Ryanair flight. Belarus was widely criticized last year for diverting the passenger flight to Minsk to arrest opposition journalist Roman Protasevich. Four officials who had been charged are the Director general and deputy Director General of Belarus's state air navigation authority.
