EU leaders are due to discuss their response to what the union's executive called a "hijacking" and the US state department "a shocking act".Belarus forced the plane, which was bound for Lithuania, to land in Minsk claiming a bomb threat to the aircraftIt arrested the Belarusian journalist and activist Roman Protasevich.The 26-year-old was aboard the Ryanair plane, which was flying from Athens. The aircraft was due to land in Vilnius when Belarusian authorities scrambled a fighter jet and diverted it to the country's capital.

The incident drew sharp condemnation from across the European Union, with countries urging the immediate release of Mr Protasevich and a full investigation.The president of Lithuania, Gitanas Nauseda, urged the EU to impose fresh economic sanctions on Belarus at Monday's meeting of union leaders.He told the BBC that such steps "could make a larger impact on the behaviour of the Belarusian regime".

Dozens of Belarusian officials, including President Lukashenko, are already under EU sanctions including travel bans and assets freezes, imposed in response to the repression on opponents.Ursula von der Leyen, head of the European Commission, said "the outrageous and illegal behaviour... will have consequences". Poland's Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki called it an "unprecedented act of state terrorism".US Secretary of State Antony Blinken condemned the "shocking act" and said President Joe Biden's administration was "co-ordinating with our partners on next steps".
