After four found dead, Poland blames Belarus for migrant wave

Four people were found dead on Sunday on the Belarus-Poland border, a week after Warsaw imposed a state of emergency.

Poland accused Russia and Belarus of orchestrating a wave of illegal immigration at its land border, a day after four migrants were found dead at its Belarusian frontier.

“We’re dealing with a mass organised, well-directed action from Minsk and Moscow,” Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki told reporters in Warsaw on Monday, adding that up to 7,000 migrants and asylum seekers had been spotted on the border since early August.

Thousands have been trying to cross from Belarus into EU members Latvia, Lithuania and Poland in recent weeks.
