State Border Committee: cause of death of a refugee on the Polish border become known
On January 7th, a refugee’s body was found in the Polish border area, that was a doctor from Yemen. As Belarus’ State Border Committee reports in its Telegram channel, the foreigner died because of the Polish military’s inaction.
According to the Polish side, on January 7th, a corpse was found in the Polish border area. Later it became known that was a doctor from Yemen. The refugees’ relatives stayed with him on the Polish territory and informed that the man was unwell. Over time, his state of health worsened, and part of the refugees’ group went to ask for help, but they were detained by the Polish military. Instead of rendering assistance to the man and calling medics, they took the refugees to the border with Belarus.
Volunteers are convinced that the man died because of the inaction of the Polish military.
"This situation illustrates the callousness of Polish officers and the true face of the policy pursued by the authorities towards refugees," the State Border Committee stressed.
