The Polish Police reported this Saturday the discovery of the lifeless body of a young Syrian citizen in a wooded area near the border with Belarus. This death would bring to 11 the number of deaths from the migration crisis on the border between the European Union and Belarus, according to media estimates.
And it is that the tension between Poland and Belarus is growing exponentially as thousands of immigrants try to assault the Polish border continuously and thus reach the soil of the European Union that guarantees them a more dignified life. Some sources have indicated that at least it has been verified that more than two thousand refugees are in front of the barbed wire.
“Yesterday (Friday), in the forest located in Wolka Terechowska, near the border, the body of a young man of Syrian nationality was found,” the police reported on social media. The Police have launched an investigation into what happened because “the causes of death could not be determined at the scene of the discovery.”
Since last Monday, thousands of irregular immigrants from countries in the Middle East and Africa have tried to cross the border between Belarus and Poland.
Lithuania, Latvia and Poland have been denouncing an avalanche of illegal crossings from Belarus for months and accusing Minsk of orchestrating a migration crisis to destabilize the European Union (EU) in retaliation for sanctions.
The spokesman for the Polish Ministry of Special Services, Stanilaw Zaryn had warned a day earlier, on twitter, of a propaganda campaign in which children play a leading role. At the same time, the Polish military authorities have been warning for days of the increase in the number of people settled on the Belarusian side , including children and women.
The Polish government sent several convoys of humanitarian aid with food, clothing and medical supplies to the border with Belarus a few weeks ago, where they were repeatedly denied entry to that country. Warsaw accuses the regime of President Aleksandr Lukashenko of encouraging the influx of people from countries such as Iraq or Syria to the Polish, Latvian and Lithuanian borders.
President Lukashenko cornered by international criticism
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has demanded proof that he is fueling the migration crisis on the border with Poland. In this way, he came out of the way of international criticism that pointed out to him about this humanitarian crisis of which the Russian president, Vladimir Putin , has also ignored.
Let them put the evidence on the table for me. That they tell me a single person in charge or a businessman who is financing this, “Lukashenko told the Russian magazine ‘National Defense’, in an interview in which he pointed directly to the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, as the initial person in charge of the displacements when opening the gates of the country to migrants.

“‘Come to us’ , said Merkel and others at one point in 2015. They called them, and that’s where the transit began,” he indicated, before rejecting any personal involvement. Do you think I have money to squander? If I am sponsoring this situation, show me proofs, “he added.
Lukashenko has also assured that the Belarusian airline Belavia has not transported migrants to Belarus and recalled that the western community has closed its airspace for Belarusian planes. “And you (in the West), crazy people, want me to protect you, even from migrants?”
