Poland Arrests 15 Afghans at Lithuanian Border
The Polish border guard has announced that it has arrested 54 migrants, including 15 Afghans, near the country's border with Lithuania.
According to Polish authorities, these people were hiding in a truck with Romanian license plates without legal travel documents and were trying to illegally enter Polish territory.
The country's authorities have said that the detained migrants will be returned to Lithuania in accordance with the "readmission" agreement. Also, investigations into the network or individuals involved in the illegal transfer of these migrants are still ongoing.
This incident occurs at a time when Taliban officials are talking about improving the security situation and economic development in Afghanistan, but the continued efforts of Afghan citizens to illegally migrate to European countries indicate the continuation of economic, social and livelihood challenges in the country.
