(ANSA) – ROME, NOVEMBER 13 – A Syrian migrant of about 20 years old was found lifeless in a forest in Polish territory near the Belarusian border. The body was found yesterday by Polish police following a report by a forest worker near the Wolka Terechowska village, according to the Guardian. The causes of death have not yet been ascertained.
This is the first known victim of the dramatic escalation in illegal crossing attempts to the European Union in recent days, with hundreds of people – mainly Kurds from Syria, Iraq and other Middle Eastern countries – camped in freezing temperatures. In previous weeks, according to Polish media, at least nine other migrants had been found dead on both sides of the border.
The West accused Alexander Lukashenko’s regime of orchestrating the flow of migrants in retaliation against EU sanctions. The migrants said they were pushed across the border by Belarusian forces and pushed back by Polish ones. (HANDLE).
