In early September, the portal reported for 15 minutes that a caste system was forming in the Rūdninkai migrant camp in Šalčininkai district, sexual exploitation was taking place and some poor migrants were being forced into prostitution between men. The information is based on the knowledge of the Red Cross and sources.
Pretrial investigations initiated
The Deputy Minister of the Interior, Arnoldas Abramavičius, admits that such a situation may occur, but it is probably not as “prison” as the migrants themselves say.
“I would appreciate that information as follows: the truth is somewhere in between. If the media or non-governmental organizations speak to the refugees in the camps, the information is very dramatic: violence, harassment and all the rest. things in jail are happening.
We probably can’t deny that, but the situation is probably not as dramatic as we pointed out. But we recognize that there may be such cases. But he’s probably moving to other places and zoning those places that would probably solve those problems, ”A. Abramavičius told the Seimas Human Rights Committee on Wednesday.
As far as he knows, there are currently around 1,000 minors in immigrant camps in Lithuania.

At that time, another Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs, Vitaly Dmitrijev, announced that the pre-trial investigations had already begun.
“We believe that we will solve the biggest problem in Rūdninkai, where people will live in more favorable conditions. We are talking about building container houses. We will take into account the zoning and the needs of the people.
Yes, we see trouble at Rūdninkai, there are pre-trial investigations into the events at Rūdninkai. Some people broke up. We really reacted, “said the deputy minister in the Seimas.
The decision to revert to migrants: “the most necessary”
Since August 3, when Lithuania began converting migrants at the border, 80 people have been admitted to the country and 2,441 have not been admitted.
“Of those 80, perhaps only 25 are adult men or non-Belarusians. This is a humanitarian corridor, it cannot be said that we did not let anything in,” said A. Abramavičius.
According to him, the decision to close the border was “most necessary” because it helped stabilize the situation at the border.
“We think we are doing it right here. The amendment to the law also allows the referral of illegal immigrants to foreign checkpoints and diplomatic missions. And the wall, as it is, without a physical barrier, without cameras, without a control system, can no longer be in Lithuania. In one way or another, the wall will be closed by a physical barrier ”, assured the vice minister.
According to Antanas Montvydas, deputy head of the State Border Guard Service, border guards allow migrants to enter the country in accordance with current laws.
“Obviously there are minors, disabled people, pregnant women, single parents raising minor children with whom they would travel. In addition, people over 75 years of age, as well as people with mental or behavioral disorders, and victims of human trafficking, if they declare it, ”said A. Montvydas.
Rūdninkai landfill – prison subculture
We remind you that tv3.lt has already announced that the Rūdninkai landfill, where the migrant camp is located, has a subculture typical of prisons, which is based on the division of castes, the dominance of the strongest against the weakest, sexual exploitation, organized crime and physical violence. Volunteers, shooters and non-governmental organizations working in the camp spoke about it.
“Our observers have visited the Rūdninkai camp twice and have recorded that a hierarchical and caste system is forming in the camp, and that it is unsafe for some people living there. It is possible to exploit vulnerable people,” said Žydronė Lukšytė, head of communication for the Red Cross.
“There it becomes like a prison subculture: stronger against weaker, there are castes, Asia against Africa and things like that,” writer Rūta Vanagaitė told TV3.lt some time ago, who sought to become a Red Cross volunteer. , but eventually it did not become one.
“Africans are in a particularly bad situation, they are very poor. The translators said that if it was possible to give Africans clothes, because in reality they came when there was nothing,” said the interlocutor.
