A California man who is on the FBI’s Most Wanted List for allegedly
attacking police during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot has claimed asylum in the
former Soviet republic of Belarus. Evan Neumann, 48, was charged in July
on six separate counts, including assaulting officers and violent entry,
after being identified from footage of the storming of Congress. But by
then he had already sold his house in the Bay Area and fled to Europe,
initially hiding out in Ukraine before deciding to cross over into
Belarus—often described as “Europe’s last dictatorship.”

His hosts appear delighted to have him. Belarus state TV portrayed him as
a victim of government persecution and described him as “the same type of
simple American whose shops were burned by Black Lives Matter activists.”
In an interview with the channel, reported by the Moscow Times, Neumann
said he had decided to leave Ukraine after finding himself being tailed
by security officials. He told how he encountered wild boar and snakes as
he made his way across the swampy marshland dividing Ukraine and Belarus,
before being arrested on the border on Aug. 15. He said that the charges
against him were “unfounded.”

communist country. I remember when comunism was considered enemy.
