In several cases, overzealous judges have sentenced participants to punishments far beyond what was even being sought by prosecutors.
This has led some to wonder if these rioters aren’t being treated fairly, and it has led at least one such suspect to flee the country citing “political persecution”.
Evan Neumann, 48, was charged in July on six separate criminal charges, including violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds, as well as for assaulting, resisting and obstructing law enforcement at the Capitol insurrection on January 6.
Shortly after the charges were filed, Neumann sold his house in California‘s Bay Area for $1.3 million and fled. He is listed by the FBI as a ‘defendant at large’.
So, where exactly did Neumann end up? And why?
He has now emerged in Belarus, where Alexander Lukashenko – infamous for imprisoning his political rivals and for coming under fire during violent crackdowns following his highly disputed election victory in August 2020 – has been in power for 26 years.
In a sit-down interview titled ‘Goodbye, America’ released on Sunday, he told Belarus 1 that he is facing six criminal charges back in the United States.
Neumann said: ‘I do not believe that I have committed any crime. One of the charges was very offensive.
‘It is alleged that I hit a police officer. There is no reason for this.
‘This is terrible… This is political persecution. And this is a level with which I cannot do anything.’
And while the move was certainly a bold one, there is no word yet on Belarus’ willingness to grant Neumann asylum.
