The migration crisis on the borders of Belarus with Poland, Lithuania and Latvia was caused by Alexander Lukashenko, who is accused of waging a hybrid war. It involves the organized transfer of migrants to the territory of Poland, Lithuania and Latvia. During over 28 years of his rule, Lukashenko has often threatened Europe with weakening border control.

The operation of bringing migrants to Belarus from the Middle East or Africa in order to cause a migration crisis was previously described on his blog by Tadeusz Giczan, a journalist from the Belarusian opposition channel Nexta. He explained that the Belarusian services are conducting the “Sluice” operation invented 10 years ago. Under the guise of trips to Minsk and promising to transfer them to Western Europe, the Lukashenko regime brought thousands of migrants to Belarus. Then he transports them to the borders of EU countries, where Belarusian services force them to cross them illegally. This operation is still ongoing.

Organizations providing humanitarian aid on the Polish-Belarusian border claim that despite the change of government in Poland, the law is still being broken against migrants. They argue that they have documented cases of people being expelled abroad from Belarus who clearly asked for international protection in the presence of volunteers. During one of the press conferences, a drastic video made available by the Podlasie Volunteer Humanitarian Emergency Service was presented, showing a woman's limp body being dragged through a gate in the border fence and abandoned on the other side.

Aid organizations demand that the government restore the rule of law on the Polish-Belarusian border, pursue a border protection policy in compliance with international and national law guaranteeing access to the procedure for applying for international protection and compliance with the principle of non-refoulement, initiate administrative proceedings provided for by law against persons crossing the border, immediately stop violence at the border against people on the way and hold those responsible for the violence accountable.
