Summary

Poland is facing accusations of widespread human rights abuses at its Belarus border, including violent pushbacks of migrants who are later subjected to torture by Belarusian forces.

Despite these allegations, the EU allocated €52 million to Poland for border enforcement. Prime Minister Donald Tusk has maintained harsh migration policies, refusing to implement the EU Migration Pact requirements.

Rights groups warn that Brussels’ reluctance to confront Poland sets a dangerous precedent, with Oxfam stating: “The EU must stop bankrolling this pushback policy.”

      I never said that. And I literally said it’s horrible. I said it’s Europe‘s fault that human beings can be weaponized because we’re too racist to let them in. If we wouldn’t want them to be beaten and raped we could protect them. We just don’t want to.

        I think you have your head on backwards or you’re a troll

        Why isn’t it their fault for going towards a dangerous hostile place and seeking out situations that will lead to abuse.

        I don’t head over to war zones. I stay where it’s safe and don’t wonder off that path.

        When I travel I follow the rules for each country I visit. I don’t try to enter illegally and then accuse them of something.

          You seem to be Canadian (?) so you probably don’t know what draconian measures we take to shut down every possibility to legally request asylum in the EU which is a basic human right in our constitution.

          People are getting raped and abused in North Africa, Italy, Greece, Turkey, you think it’s just Belarus? We let people drown in the Mediterranean Sea because we don’t give a fuck, these people are sub-human to the average European. Maybe also to you, but don’t call me a troll or insult me in any other way just because I don’t let you justify us treating refugees like shit just because the other guys do the dirty work for us.

          Again, if you would care about the abused people you’d be happy to help them, instead you blame them for being victimized. I don’t know how people like you can sleep at night.
