Belarus’ reaction to the migrant’s alleged death is suspiciously fast: Lithuania is already to blame

“It just came to our notice then. It’s just the beginning. There is a reaction to every action,” Belarus’ illegitimate President Aliaksandr Lukashenko said in a meeting with diplomats in late July. He addressed these words to Lithuania and assured them that radical and armed Muslims were already attacking Lithuanians in Iraq and Afghanistan for their alleged crimes. Lithuanian border guards defeated the migrants and pushed them back, and now Iraqi relatives will take revenge on the Lithuanians who hurt the women.

At that time, Mr. Lukashenko had not provided any evidence that an incident had taken place at the border, such as the beating of migrants. In fact, this time no evidence was provided, as the Belarusian State Border Committee allegedly confirmed information about an Iraqi citizen who had died on the Lithuanian border in the vicinity of the Benekainiai settlement.

Such information is not yet published on the website of the Belarusian border guards, but the information of the Belarusian border guards is based on the country’s regime news agency, Belta. Its second report provides surprisingly detailed information on the alleged shocking death of an Iraqi.

The tragic story is described in detail and incriminating: the Iraqi was rejected from Lithuania and the locals reportedly reported that he had been beaten.

And then the migrant was killed by the Belarusian border guards. Neither the citizenship of the “servile-looking man”, nor who and where he beat him, has been established, but this is the second time the Belarusian regime has announced to beaten migrants that they should return from Lithuania.

This time, this is done just one day after Lithuania started handing over migrants and allowed the use of non-lethal physical means to turn migrants away. It is true that Lithuanian officials claim that they have not used such measures so far.

By the way, Belta has the propaganda channel of the Pul Pervovo regime, which was the first Telegram to publish such information.

In addition, it is alleged that an investigation has already been initiated in the Commission of Inquiry, under the personal control of the President, who remains fully informed. In addition, it has been “created to find the relatives of the deceased, issue them visas and provide them with full assistance for the return of the body.”

At that time, the “supporters” of A. Lukashenko gathered in Minsk at the Lithuanian Embassy for a “spontaneous protest action”. People holding the posters “Nausėda – to The Hague”, “Nausėda, Landsbergis, Šimonytė – War criminals” shouted “Let’s not forget and forgive”, accusing Lithuania of “violence against migrants”.

Anušauskas: Lithuania will not be responsible for the provocations of the regime

Lithuanian National Defense Minister Arvydas Anušauskas also reacted to the information released by the Belarusian regime. He did not hide on his Facebook account that such provocations could be expected from Mr. Lukashenko.

“It seems that the situation has been modeled beforehand and there will be more communication messages of this type, as the Belarusian officials are caught in an illegal transport operation. And I notice how the message of” death “traveled to the message of” murder ” Lukashenko, said the minister.

On Tuesday, he presented to President Gitan Nausėda, together with the Commander of the Armed Forces, article 18 of the Law on the Organization of the National Defense System of the Republic of Lithuania and Military Service. amendments that would expand the rights of Lithuanian soldiers at the border and allow them to use special measures. Then he also pointed out that if Belarus accepted the provocations, it would already be talking about a completely different legal situation. So far this has not been necessary.

“Lithuania was not and will not be responsible for the provocations of the Belarusian regime, in which this deception involves Iraqis or citizens of other countries,” emphasized A. Anušauskas.

Shortly after, he described the information distributed by Belarusian border guards about the allegedly dead Iraqi as a provocation to the ELTA news agency.

“I see it as a provocation, because we expected the provocations of the Belarusian regime. In fact, by organizing all that illegal road and involving the officials in this activity, they cannot always control the situation by themselves,” A. Anušauskas told the journalists on Wednesday.

The Minister notes that the messages circulating in the Belarusian media about Iraqis differ.

On the other hand, we see that the messages have been prepared, Lukashenko ordered to question the witnesses they found, that is, civilians, and it turns out that they found border guards according to another message. He writes many details, which, according to them, he found, could not tell, etc. – said the Minister.

“It seems that they are already forming that message on the basis of the illegal actions of their own officials, because they are violating the laws of their country, which they have, they are simply not enforcing: the borders with Belarus are not monitored,” he added.

A. Anušauskas is convinced that the Belarusian regime will continue to try to exploit Iraqis who do not know the real situation as much as possible.

“Their desire to exploit Iraqis, who do not know what the situation really is, will be, and will exploit to the fullest, until information about how they use these people to print money reaches Iraq itself or other people.” “he said. him.
