A California man accused of attacking a police officer during the Capitol defended his decision to flee to Belarus, saying he was afraid of being tortured by the US justice system.

Evan Neumann, 48, gave an interview to state TV in Belarus, the authoritarian nation next to Russia which is in a long-running dispute with the US and EU over the legitimacy of its last presidential election.

Neumann is on the FBI's most-wanted list and faces six charges including assaulting, resisting, or impeding officers, and violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

The charges against him are laid out in legal documents filed in Washington DC's federal court.
