A new project in Poland aims to assist migrants crossing the border!

A new Polish project has been launched to help migrants crossing the border by a Polish lawyer. The project’s Facebook page posts in English, Polish and Arabic to raise awareness of the signal with migrants.

Poland’s location between the western edge of the former Soviet Union and the affluent West makes it a popular transit point for both economic migrants and asylum seekers. Poland has the longest border with Russia, Lithuania, Belarus, and Ukraine, measuring 1,300 kilometers. Every year, approximately 15,000 people illegally cross the Polish border.

More than 16,000 migrants were stopped by Poland’s border patrol for illegally crossing the country’s 250-mile-long border with Belarus since August.

Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia have all reported increases in migrants from countries including Afghanistan and Iraq crossing via Belarus. Poland and the EU are accusing that Belarus is facilitating migration to the European Union’s eastern border.

The government has decided to build a new barrier on its border with Belarus. The parliament approved a new bill that allows border guards to immediately expel illegal migrants from across the border. Guards will also be given the power to refuse applications for international asylum, without examination.

But human rights groups say Poland is required under international law to assist anyone seeking asylum, even if they have arrived in the country illegally.

The lawyer, Kamil Syller, suggests that locals flash a green light to indicate that they can provide food to the migrants. He lives about 5 kilometers from the border and claims that migrants are stranded in forests and are forced to sleep outside in freezing temperatures rather than asking locals for assistance because they are afraid of being returned to Belarus. At least six people have died while attempting to cross the border in the cold.

Mr. Syller told a Polish newspaper that migrants calling at these homes could expect a meal, a change of clothes, first aid, and the opportunity to charge their phones. He also criticized the Polish government’s stance on the issue, claiming that the authorities are enacting draconian regulations that will soon go into effect and legalize pushback, and that they have calculated the death of refugees in them. He also stated that border landers who witness human drama and suffering do not need to calculate.

He accepted that a house displaying a green light may attract the attention of authorities and immediately lead migrants into the hands of guards and it can be hard

Buy It is a matter of their conscience.

“We must remain human.” He said.
