Janina Ochojska should answer for her words – emphasized the deputy head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration Maciej Wąsik. According to him, the MEP’s statement on migrants is fodder for Belarusian propaganda and grist to the mills of Alyaksandr Lukashenko and Vladimir Putin.
MEP elected from the lists of the European coalition, founder of PAH Janina Ochojska spoke on TOK FM on Friday about the situation at the Polish-Belarusian border and suggested that Polish foresters could remove the bodies of dead migrants, who may ” in some collective grave”. In connection with this statement, at the request of Prosecutor General Zbigniew Ziobro, the Warsaw Prosecutor’s Office has initiated proceedings in the case of defamation of state forests.

“I am astonished”
Wąsik emphasized on program one of Polish Radio that he was outraged by this case.
Not only is this utter nonsense and utter absurdity, but it also comes from a person who was once highly respected for his humanitarian actions.
– he said.
It amazes me how such a man can say things for which there is no evidence. After all, this is a breeding ground for Belarusian propaganda. Soon these sentences of Ochojska, pronounced in TOK FM, will be repeated in all Belarusian media
– assessed the Deputy Minister. As he added, this is “water for the mill” of Lukashenko and Putin.
The deputy head of the Ministry of Interior and Administration also said that in connection with this situation, “there must also be a reflection on the side of the opposition”. According to him, the head of the PO, Donald Tusk, should speak out – either to distance himself from Ochojska’s words, or to show evidence, and – as the deputy minister added – there is no such evidence or premises.
I think Janina Ochojska should reply to these words
– summarized the Deputy Minister.
Shocking words
In an interview with TOK FM, Ochojska referred to data from the Granica Group, according to which a total of 37 people lost their lives on the Polish and Belarusian sides of the border.
I think there are many more victims of this border. They are either in some mass grave, because I wouldn’t be surprised if, when access to the border was closed, the bodies were simply collected so that there would be no such evidence. Nearly 300 people are currently reported missing
said the MEP.
She also suggested that Polish forest rangers may have been responsible for disposing of the bodies.
I suppose there are still bodies in the woods, but maybe some have just been cleared away. Why do I think so? There was a time when forest rangers were appointed from all over the country. for what? After all, not to help the forest in a difficult moment. But they were called for something
said Ochoyska. She added that “this is not an accusation, this is an assumption of what could have happened.”
According to the border guard, words like Ochojska are harmful and support the actions of Belarusian propaganda. According to Border Guard records, 19 bodies have been found in the border areas since the migratory pressure began. 18 of them in Podlaskie Voivodeship and one in Lubelskie Voivodeship.
All bodies were reported to the police, or officers were immediately on the scene. Operations are taking place everywhere. These activities are supervised by the public prosecutor’s office
– told PAP Senior Staff Warrant Officer Ewelina Szczepańska from Border Guard Headquarters.
On Monday, the mayor of Warsaw, deputy head of PO Rafał Trzaskowski, stressed in Polsat News, referring to Ochojska’s words, that this kind of information should not be made public if it is not 100 percent confirmed.
When such harsh allegations are made, they must be substantiated. If not, you are doing the people you speak of a disservice
– he said.
