Polish border guards wanted to expel refugees to Belarus through the gate for animal migration

Polish border guards in two official cars delivered refugees to the barrier fence on the border with Belarus. They opened the gate meant for animal migration, and tried to force out foreigners to the Belarusian territory.

"The Belarusian border patrol, which arrived at the scene, did not allow the violation of the border. The Polish security forces quickly closed the gate, put the refugees back into vehicles and took them away in an unknown direction," the State Border Committee of the Republic of Belarus said in a statement.

A similar incident occurred on October 10 in the Grodno region. Polish servicemen on a truck delivered the refugees to the barrier fence with Belarus. Then they tried to expel 7 foreigners to the Belarusian territory through the gate for animal migration.
