The Polish police reported finding the body of an illegal migrant at the border with Belarus
The body of a dead illegal migrant was found at the border of Belarus and Poland. Presumably, he came from Nigeria, RIA Novosti reports with reference to the police of the Podlaskie Voivodeship.
The body of a man was found in a forest near Olkhovka, Narevsky district, about nine kilometers from the border of Belarus. He had a backpack and a Nigerian passport with him. The possible cause of the death has not yet been named, the body has already been transferred to forensic experts who will find out.
Since the beginning of 2021, nine bodies of illegal immigrants have been found on Polish territory. The border guards also recorded about 40 thousand attempts to illegally cross the border. This is ten times more than in 2020. The Polish authorities and representatives of other EU countries believe that the Belarusian authorities are to blame for the outbreak of the crisis, provoking an influx of migrants.
