Belarusian media reported on Wednesday that a dead Iraqi had been found on the Lithuanian-Belarusian border. There is also talk of violence against migrants by border guards.
According to A. Bilotaitė, this should be treated as clear misinformation: “As we all understand, there is a hybrid attack against Lithuania, the spread of such misinformation is an example of how this is done. There is no point commenting on such misinformation. “
“Cooperation with the Belarusian side is not possible because it is not happening. Furthermore, it cannot take place when Belarusian officials themselves are involved in this process,” he added.
During the night from Monday to Tuesday, border guards received permission to return illegal immigrants traveling to Lithuania and back to Belarus.
The Interior Minister said that all the actions taken by the officials were and were legal, but said he had no information on whether force had been used at the border: “We are self-evaluating information, the situation has changed very dramatically, so Those decisions have been made.
Border guards will use force when necessary. These are professional officials who evaluate all situations, “said A. Bilotaitė.
Those who want to obtain asylum must do so legally.
Speaking about new attitudes, he said the country is sending a signal to people who want to apply for asylum that they can do so, but only by legal means.
First, he said, migrants have to go to border checkpoints to ask for asylum: “And under all procedures, if those people belong, they will be granted,” he said.
He also added that refugees seeking asylum cannot cross the border illegally, commit rapes and “be a tool of the Lukashenko regime.”
In the opinion of A. Bilotaitė, during the migration crisis, Lithuania will receive various information on officials and citizens to engage the country.
Belarusian border guards report an Iraqi allegedly killed at the border
An Iraqi national died on the Belarusian-Lithuanian border in the vicinity of the Benekainiai settlement, the Belarusian State Border Committee said on Wednesday. Lithuanian border guards say they have received no information from Belarusian officials about the incident and say they found out from the media.
“The Belarusian border guards found a man in a difficult condition with a subservient appearance,” said Antonas Byčkouskis, representative of the Committee.
According to him, the border guards tried to give the man first aid, but he died.
“Lithuanian border guards found out by monitoring the content of foreign media and social media,” Rokas Pukinskas, representative of the State Border Guard Service, told BNS.
