A California man suspected of taking part in the US Capitol riots last year has been granted asylum in Belarus.
Evan Neumann fled the US after being charged in connection with the riots.
The 48-year-old first settled in Ukraine, before reaching Belarus where he asked for asylum – claiming he faced “political persecution” in the US.
A Belarusian official said Mr Neumann has been granted permission to remain in the country “indefinitely”.
