State Border Committee: Belarusian side initiates investigation of incident at border

16 ноября 2021

And as the State Border Committee of our country informs, the Belarusian side is initiating an investigation of the incident at the border. The use of special equipment and ammunition by the Polish security forces against unarmed people on the Belarusian side was recorded. And this can be regarded as nothing other than violent actions against persons who are in the territory of another country. The Polish side used tear gas, a water cannon and stun grenades to push back the migrants.

The situation near the temporary accommodation of refugees at the Bruzgi checkpoint has worsened by noon. Some foreign men, driven to despair by intolerable conditions, attempted to break through to Poland. The fence is on its territory, so the Belarusian border guards have no legal right to approach it.
