According to the interior minister, the increasing number of attempts by migrants to escape from accommodation and the resulting disturbances require not only more forces in the camps, but also clearer coordination of service activities.

“Migrants who have chosen an illegal migration route, deceived the Belarusian regime and become victims of human trafficking are trying to reach richer European countries. Although many have applied for asylum, it is clear that some actually they are not seeking asylum in our country and they are trying to leave in every possible way, even without finding a solution. We cannot allow Lithuania to become a transitional yard. Illegal immigration is not acceptable in the European Union, “he says Interior Minister A. Bilotaitė.

Migrant registration was completed last week and the processing of asylum applications is accelerating. According to the Department of Migration and the SBGS, 2,804 migrants are currently seeking asylum. 645 asylum applications have already been examined, but so far no one has been granted asylum.

According to the Joint Situation Center (JSC), in the last two weeks there have been 70 attempts by migrants to leave the accommodation, 21 of which have been returned.

Since the beginning of the year, according to JSC’s revised data, 704 migrants have left the accommodation, 146 migrants have been detained and returned.

After protests that took place on Saturday night, 21 foreigners disappeared in the migrant camp in Rukla, Jonava district, says Ričardas Pocius, head of the Public Security Service (VST).

“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 security agents.

A protest against dissatisfied migrants 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.

The news portal delfi.lt learned that the police used tear gas.

Rukla houses 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 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.
