Emotions have not yet subsided following Amnesty International’s publication of a report accusing Ukrainian troops of violating the law of armed conflict and acting to the detriment of the civilian population, and activists from Poland’s AI branch staged a protest for from the European Commission headquarters in Warsaw. The demonstration was about defending the rights of refugees and AI activists demanded that people from the Polish-Belarusian border not return.
Activists demanded that illegal migrants from the border with Belarus be allowed into Poland.
Activists claim that “the demonstration took place under the slogans to stop the illegal return of people seeking protection in Europe from the borders of the European Union.”
We call on the EU and European countries to ensure that migration policies protect human lives

“Everyone has Russian visas”
Let’s not forget that the Border Guard has reported that 31 foreigners, including citizens of Eritrea and Egypt, tried to get to Poland from Belarus in the past day. Another so-called courier of people who have crossed the border illegally.
According to the border guard on Twitter, among the detained foreigners, there was an 18-member group that went to Poland through the backwaters of the river on the section protected by the border guard facility in Białowieża.
On the other hand, in the area protected by the Border Guard in Narewka, border guards stopped a courier carrying people who had crossed the border illegally. The border guard informs that the Belarusian was transporting a citizen of Ethiopia and Yemen.
More than 180 attempts to cross the Polish-Belarusian border into Poland were recorded in August, according to Border Guard data, and more than 7.1 thousand since the beginning of the year.
Belarusian journalist Tadeusz Giczan pointed out that the number of people wanting to cross the Belarusian border into the European Union has been increasing in recent weeks.
Lithuania reports 100 people a day and seeks help from the army. Russia will probably join this time because they all have Russian visas
– emphasizes Giczan.
Amnesty International organized a protest in Wawa, demanding that Polish authorities allow immigrants from Belarus. In the case of this organization nothing can surprise me anymore

Interestingly, AI publishes a report accusing Ukraine while demanding the opening of the Polish-Belarusian border to migrants. Very interesting

Report on Ukraine
It should also be remembered that Amnesty International released a report criticizing the Ukrainian military for “exposing civilians to risk and violating the law of armed conflict through actions in populated areas”, which caused a huge backlash among Ukraine’s political elite. They were critical of the report, among others. President Volodymyr Zelensky and Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba.
The head of the Ukrainian branch distanced himself from the publication, saying that “the Ukrainian bureau did not participate in the preparation and writing of the text of the publication”, and that the arguments put forward were not taken into account at all. She added that representatives of Amnesty International’s Ukraine office have made every effort to prevent this material from being published. Repeated attempts to protest this publication have been answered with a firm “no” by AI headquarters. After the report was published, Oksana Pokalczuk left AI’s office in Kiev, adding that her work and efforts “rammed into a wall of bureaucracy and a deaf language barrier.”
In turn, Russia expert Sergey Sumlenny told Germany’s Bild that this report “reflects the worst stories of Russian propaganda.”
According to Sumlenny, “The accusation that the Ukrainian army is expanding its combat positions near residential buildings cannot be sustained. This is not a war where the Russian army is only fighting for territory and where both armies can fight anywhere outside the cities. The Russians want that cities are being taken over”.
We know from Bucza and Irpień what happens to civilians after the city is occupied by the Russians: civilians are raped, tortured and tortured. Of course, the basic task of the Ukrainian army is to protect the civilian population, which is why the Ukrainian army defends the cities, even in positions directly in the cities – for example, anti-aircraft defense
Clear notes.
A scandalous report from Amnesty International. Żaryn: It is a kind of acceptance and authorization of the war waged by Russia
– ONLY HERE. AI report on Ukraine. Wróblewski: This is a piece of excellent Kremlin propaganda in the style of Goebbels
