ECHR forbade send migrants to Polish territory back to Belarus

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruled that official Warsaw has no right to send migrants that have already crossed the border and found themselves in Poland back to Belarus. This is stated in the appropriate disposal published on the site.

In the period from August 20 to December 3, 2021, the ECHR considered a total of 47 petitions with a request to ensure a safe stay in the territory of the European Union filed in 198 by the applicants. Most of them were submitted against Poland, whose authorities refuse to migrants in granting asylum, medical care, housing, and so on. According to many applicants, their lives will be in danger if they are sent back to Belarus or their homeland.

Warsaw opposes to take on the border with the Belarusian migrants. Mostly, those who arrived from the countries of the Middle East also noted that they are not going to remain in Poland, but aspire to Germany or other EU countries. However, the Dublin Regulations adopted in 2013 and acting to this day, it states that those who arrived may request asylum in that country, where they first crossed the border of the European Union.
