The border of Poland and Belarus stormed by migrants
22:19
Hundreds of migrants persuaded by the regime of Alexander Lukashenka are trying to get over the fence set up by Polish soldiers and border guards. Journalists are not allowed to enter the area under a state of emergency. Knowledge about the development of the situation comes from the reports posted on the Internet by refugees and independent Belarusian reporters, as well as from statements and messages from Polish services.
A dramatic and threatening picture emerges from them, in the video frames you can see Belarusian soldiers steering a stream of poor, desperate, and determined people. On their way to a better world, they ended up in the middle of hell.
Four Nobel Prize winners Svetlana Aleksijewicz, Elfriede Jelinek, Herta Müller, and Olga Tokarczuk wrote about their unfortunate position on the edge of Europe in an open letter to the European Parliament and the Council of Europe. In it they said about the humanitarian catastrophe on the eastern border of the EU and address the democratically elected representatives of Europe – let us not turn our eyes from the tragedy.
In a situation of unprecedented action by the Belarusian regime of Lukashenka and the threat of an even greater escalation, Poles should have access to information and confidence that the government is in control of the situation on the border.
