“We received news from the refugees who were pushed back to Belarus from the Polish border in Kuznets that they were being sent to Latvia. This is the news we received today by phone from the migrants being taken there. Some are in the hall, but some and they are mostly men who are escorted by a convoy, ” LTV said Joanna Stančuka, the organizer of the “Mother on the Border” campaign.
The Latvian Border Guard reports that no increased activity has been observed on the part of Belarus so far.
On Saturday, human rights activists in Poland demanded that the authorities provide immediate assistance to migrants, especially women and children. They want the corridor to be opened, at least for medical help.
According to NGOs, Poland has forced a Syrian family whose one-year-old child died to return to Belarus. It is reported that there are several more children who have died in the border area and are buried in the woods.
