US Capitol riot suspect gets asylum in Belarus

[kpete]

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".

1. What a utopia Belarus is.

Have fun there, because you won't be stepping foot in the U.S. for a long time. Hope your party at the Capitol was worth it.

2. Oh, he's not going to like it there.

Not one bit. It ain't California. English is not the language used there, and he's unlikely to learn Belarusian.

So, what's he going to do to make money there?

Nope, he won't like it.
