Lithuanian border guards have forced 91 migrants to return to Belarus

Lithuanian border guards forced 91 migrants to return to Belarus illegally that day, who tried to enter Lithuania illegally, the Lithuanian State Border Guard Service said on Sunday.

As reported, with the sharp increase in the flow of illegal migrants across the Belarusian border, Lithuania declared a state of emergency in the summer. Since August 3, according to the order of the Minister of the Interior Agne Bilotaite, Lithuanian border guards have forced migrants to return.

From the beginning of the year until now, more than 4,200 illegal migrants have been detained in Lithuania, but since the order came into force, more than three thousand foreigners have been banned from crossing the border in unauthorized places.

Lithuanian officials point out that the Belarussian regime is deliberately facilitating the flow of migrants across the border, as Lithuania supports the democratic opposition in Belarus and has given asylum to its leader Svyatlan Cihanouska.
