schema:articleBody	Estonia on Friday called for stopping the "flow of money" to Belarusian strongman Alexander Lukashenko, who is facing a global outcry after the arrest of a dissident journalist on a diverted flight. "The situation in Belarus is urgent because there are journalists who were probably tortured," Estonian President Kersti Kaljulaid told reporters. "There's a certain urgency to take action, it is important to cut the flow of money," she added, a day after Estonia banned Belarusian flights from using its airspace. The European Union has already promised a fresh wave of sanctions against Lukashenko and regime officials and urged carriers based in the bloc to divert flights from Belarusian airspace. The opposition journalist Roman Protasevich, who was arrested along with his girlfriend Sofia Sapega, was last seen looking nervous in a video released by Belarusian authorities on Monday. His parents said he looked like he had been beaten. Kaljulaid said of the sanctions that "the Europeans want to act within a legal framework. It's difficult, it takes time, but it's not impossible." She said she hopes the next sanctions against Lukashenko will be stronger and concern his resources. "I think it's better to attack the resources of authoritarian regimes. They aren't located there but in larger countries, notably of course in the United Kingdom," Kaljulaid said. "If we really want to make a difference, we have to limit the investment possibilities," she added. Lukashenko sparked international outrage by dispatching a fighter jet Sunday to intercept a Ryanair flight from Athens to Vilnius carrying Protasevich, 26, and Sapega, 23. A defiant Lukashenko said he had "acted lawfully to protect our people" from an alleged bomb threat on the plane, in a parliament address Wednesday. Lukashenko -- often dubbed "Europe's last dictator" -- is facing some of the strongest international pressure of his nearly 27 years ruling ex-Soviet Belarus. The 66-year-old has retained his grip on power by hounding opponents, jailing and allegedly torturing dissidents, and muzzling independent media. He and his allies are already under a series of Western sanctions over a crackdown on protests after his disputed re-election to a sixth term last August. dla-amj/dt/tgb
