Polish soldier asked for political asylum in Belarus
Yesterday, December 16th, at 5.50pm, a Belarusian border patrol stopped a serviceman of the Polish Armed Forces, Czeczko Emil, born 1996, near the Belarusian-Polish border at the Tushemlya border outpost of the Grodno border group, in the border security zone – as reported by the State Border Committee’s Telegram channel
"The man stated that he was a serviceman of the 11th Masurian Artillery Regiment of the 16th Pomeranian Mechanised Division named after King Cazimir. Its units were deployed to ensure protection of the border with Belarus during the state of emergency on the border territories of Poland," the State Border Committee reported.
It was added that the soldier asked for political asylum in Belarus due his disagreement with Poland's policy regarding the migration crisis and inhumane treatment of refugees.
