My biggest worries right now is Roman Pratasevich and his girlfriend's state of health. Some of the Lithuanian passengers who were able to look at him, said that once the pilot announced unexpected landing at Minsk Airport, he immediately became pale and started panicking, other passenger said that "he was worried so much that the plane is landing at Minsk, he would have jumped out of the plane if he was just able to" . Also few passengers who were able to talk to Pratasevich quote him saying that "i am facing death penalty there".
You can only imagine what kinda torture at this hour he right now might facing, in some Minsk Prison.

They should definitely ban any air traffic in/out of Belarus until they release all the passengers.

I want to know what would have happened, had the pilots just said "no" and kept going. Would they have shot down the aircraft?
