An unexpected turn from the Latvian authorities. The President of the country called Belarus a safe country for people. Probably, the opinion of the Baltic politician about human rights in our country changed dramatically when it came to migrants.
“Belarus is a safe country that does not infringe on the rights of people arriving from third countries. Therefore, migrants can apply for asylum from Belarus,” - said Egils Levits.
Latvia itself treats refugees, to put it mildly, not hospitably. The authorities allowed law enforcement officers to use force against migrants. At the same time, according to the EU laws, the states are obliged to protect the right of people to asylum, even if they arrive in the country illegally.
