Скачать или смотреть Fears of torture in Belarus jail as girlfriend of dissident Protasevich filmed confessing to crimes

ROMAN Protasevich's girlfriend has appeared in a confessional video after her family told of fears she is facing torture in a Belarus dungeon.

Sofia Sapega said she is the editor of a Telegram channel dubbed "the Black Book of Belarus".

She confirmed on camera she is part of the organisation - which "publishes personal information about internal affairs officers".

Her mother said the 23-year-old's confession looked to be a “setup” amid concerns that she was tortured into saying she has committed crimes.

Friends and family believe she was given lines to recite or face retribution from the feared Belarus KGB secret service.

She has been detained for two months and is held in a KGB remand jail.

Sofia’s mother Anna Dudich told RT: “I am watching this video for the tenth time and I don’t understand what she’s saying... I don’t understand at all what is going on.

“What is the Black Book’, Sofia? Or I am confused, or this is a dream. Or it's a setup.”

The Russian law student - whose family say has no involvement in politics - was flying from Athens to Vilnius after a holiday with boyfriend Protasevich, 26, when Belarus tyrant Alexander Lukashenko forced down their Ryanair plane and detained the pair.

It comes after her parents begged Russian leader Vladimir Putin to intervene to save their daughter, who has been locked up in a notorious detention centre in Minsk.
