Four dead bodies of migrants trying to enter the EU were found on Sunday in the border area between Poland and Belarus. It concerns three people who were found on the Polish side of the border and a woman who was found on the Belarusian side.
It is not yet clear how the four died. The Polish police have launched an investigation.
Polish Prime Minister Morawiecki makes a connection with Belarus’ immigration policy in a statement. In retaliation for sanctions imposed by the EU against President Lukashenko, the country has stopped blocking migrants on their way to the EU’s external border since last May.
Morawiecki called that policy a provocation. He characterized the discovery of the bodies as a tragic event.

It is not yet clear where the four people who died came from. A local police officer says one case involved an Iraqi migrant who was found dead in a forest by locals. Two men who were with him were arrested and taken to a hospital for medical care.
The deceased woman was found with five other people, including three children.
