American Evan Newman , who took part in protests in Washington in January this year, applied for political asylum in Belarus. “One of the protesters in Washington, who is accused by the US government of occupying the Capitol, illegally crossed the Belarusian border and is asking for protection,” the report said. >
Newman claims the FBI has put him on the list of most wanted criminals. At home, he is charged with six cases.
“But I do not believe I have committed a crime. One of the accusations was very offensive: I allegedly hit a police officer, but that has no justification, “the man emphasized.
According to the American, at first the United States was hiding in various parts, but he realized that sooner or later he would know him, so he left. To get to Europe, he took a business trip from his own bag company.
Newman explained that it was necessary for his lawyer to have time to resolve the case.
Newman was detained by Belarusian border guards as he crossed the border from Ukraine. He said he flew from the USA to Italy, then took a train to Switzerland and from there traveled by car via Germany and Poland to Ukraine.
He lived there in Zhytomyr for about 4 months, then noticed that he was being watched … According to him, when he realized that the SBU was watching him, he decided to go to Belarus and apply for asylum.
Newman used to live with his wife and children in California. He told how the Capitol was attacked. According to him, no one entered the building through the windows.
“After the man broke the window and told us to enter, no one entered,” the American said. According to him, there were hundreds of people near the building. Newman believes that the US government itself is creating such a situation and then declares its own entities to be terrorists. The ministry also noted that they had received three asylum applications from US citizens since the beginning of the year.
