“A total of 21 people have left Rukla to date until no one returns to the camp,” the official told TV3 News on Sunday.
He said it was not known exactly when the foreigners left the Refugee Reception Center.
According to R. Pocius, the residents of the camp were told after the protest action that took place on Saturday.
The VST commander considered that the campaign itself could have been organized to divert the attention of the security agents.
A protest against migrants dissatisfied with living conditions broke out at a refugee reception center in Rukla on Saturday night.
“It was just an ordinary, traditional night parade, dissatisfaction with living conditions. The protection was not activated, there was no disturbance, “VST commander R. Pocius told BNS on Sunday.
According to him, no coercive actions or special measures were taken against the migrants.
However, the news portal delfi.lt learned that the police used tear gas.
Rukla welcomes socially vulnerable migrants and their families. Now there are about 300 people there.
The Department of Social Security and Labor reported that a boy born in 2010 who lived at the center died in the hospital on Sunday morning.
The boy was paralyzed, with epilepsy and other diseases.
Authorities say the two events are unrelated.
This year, almost 4.2 migrants entered Lithuania illegally through the border with Belarus.
Beatričė Bernotienė, director of the Rukla Refugee Reception Center, confirmed to the Delfi portal on Sunday night that the migrants were fleeing the center.
“If he (VST commander R. Pocius – ed.) Says so, he has visibly counted people. He was here in a few days (leaks – ed.), Probably – all weekend,” said B. Bernotienė on the escape of 21 migrants.
He mentioned that migrants living in the center are counted in the afternoons by visiting them in their rooms.
The director of the Rukla Refugee Reception Center clarified that these are stationary buildings where migrants live, and not the new camp, which houses up to 400 socially vulnerable people, families with children and unaccompanied minors.
According to B. Bernotienė, it is likely that the migrants left the center through the fence that surrounds the territory in more remote places, because the gates are protected, it would be quite difficult to go unnoticed.
When asked if the riots on Saturday night were not caused by officers concentrating on the gate, while others were able to escape, B. Bernotienė said “the idea is interesting.”
However, B. Bernotienė declined to comment on the actions of officials protecting the territory.
“We are a social institution, we provide services,” said the director of the Rukla Refugee Reception Center.
