Poland to suspend migrants’ right to apply for asylum

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said his government will temporarily suspend the right of immigrants who reach Poland across his borders with Belarus to apply for asylum.

Task issued this announcement after the controversial draft law was signed, which will allow the Polish authorities to suspend this right for up to 60 days at the same time, to become a law by President Androido Doda.

Task said his government would adopt the law “without delaying a moment” while Doda said that the changes are necessary to enhance security on the country’s borders.

But the law was criticized by rights groups, including Human Rights Watch, who said that the European Union should take legal action against Poland if implemented.

The group urged parliament in the country last month to reject the draft law, saying that it “flying in the face of international obligations and the European Union in Poland” and could “can” remove effectively from the borders of Poland-Belarus, as the Polish authorities have already participated in illegal and abusive recovery operations. “

The government previously said that the suspension would not be temporarily applied to people who are a threat to state security, for example large groups of aggressive immigrants trying to storm the border.

Exemptions will be offered to unaccompanied minors, pregnant women, the elderly or well, any person who is subjected to a “real danger of serious harm” by returning it and citizens of countries accused of conducting useful machines for migration – such as beraus

Tosk rejected criticism from human rights groups.

He said in October: “No one talks about violating human rights and the right to asylum, we are talking about not granting requests to people who cross the border illegally in groups organized by Lukashenko.”

Since 2021, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Finland have witnessed a significant increase in the number of people who illegally crossing in their countries from Belarus and Russia.

The Polish authorities have sent thousands of forces and border guards to buy their borders with Belarus and build a steel fence of 5.5 meters along 186 km from the border, sometimes several thousand immigrants I left the way.

Rights groups estimate that more than a hundred people have died on the border between Belarus, Poland, Lithuania and Latvia since 2021.

The countries of the eastern wing of the European Union and European Chaos accused the Belarusian and Russian authorities of deporting weapons to create a new road to the European Union to destabilize the bloc.
