Lithuanian border guards expel 54 migrants from the border into Belarus
The Lithuanian Ministry of the Interior said that, during the past 24 hours, members of its Border Guard Service prevented 54 illegal immigrants from trying to enter the country.
The ministry added in its statement: “During the past 24 hours, 54 immigrants were forced to return to Belarus, from whose territory illegal immigrants attempted to enter Lithuania, the largest number this year.”
According to the statement, the last time such a large number of attempts to illegally cross the Lithuanian-Belarusian border was recorded was in November 2022. The Lithuanian Ministry explained that on November 21, 57 illegal immigrants were expelled from the border.
As of August 2021, against the background of the migration crisis with mass attempts by migrants from Asian and African countries to cross from Belarus into Lithuania with the aim of reaching the European Union, the Vilnius authorities decided to return illegal immigrants to Belarus.
During the last period, 21.2 thousand people were expelled from the borders of Lithuania, and since the beginning of 2023, this number has reached 1,980.
