A key House Republican joined the chorus of media freedom advocates blaming Belarus‘ authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko for engineering a bogus bomb threat and scrambling a fighter jet to arrest a key opposition activist-journalist on Sunday. Mr. Lukashenko‘s “violent repression of the pro-democracy opposition and independent media knows no bounds,” Rep. Michael McCaul, the ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said in a statement.
