Belarus granted refugee status to Capitol riot defendant Evan Neumann, according to Belarusian state-run media, which circulated a photo of him apparently holding country documents.
“US citizen Evan Newman received refugee status in Belarus. The document was handed to him in the Department of Citizenship and Migration of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Brest Regional Executive Committee on March 22, 2022,” the Belarusian Telegraph Agency reported on Twitter.
In an interview with the state-run outlet, he said he had “mixed feelings” but thanked Belarus, which “took care of me,” CNN reported.
"I am upset to find myself in a situation where I have problems in my own country," he told the Belarusian-state media on Tuesday, according to the network. Court records indicate he does not have a lawyer and has been considered a "fugitive."
U.S. officials said in December that Neumann had left for the country following 14 charges he received in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, riot. Officials allege he assaulted Capitol Police and Metropolitan Police Department officers with a metal barricade and that he did not adhere to orders to leave the Capitol that evening, staying past 5 p.m.

Amen!
14 fake charges. No mtter what these guys did, and we know many were actually invited into the White House by police, they deserved bail and a fair trial. Instead they are being held as polticial prisoners to silence American right to free speech. And Congress sits there and does nothing. And they this disgraceful body just gave their worhtless selves a 21% salary increase. When was the last time YOU got a 21% increase at your job and for not doing your job. I am beginning to believe we would have more freedom in Russia than in the US.
We are dealing with communists on both sides....today the left in America is the communist party, no big difference between how the Russians handle the same thing, they too lock up those who speak against the government.
listening to the opposition leader from Belarus, “If Ukraine falls into Russian hands, so will Belarus.....and then the iron curtain will exist once more”. She lives it, knows it, and it’s possible....thatis the fear of all the countries bordering the west of Ukraine.
Putin threatened to use nuclear weapons IF HE FEELS Russia is threatened. I’d like to know what he considers a threat to Russia?
