Migrants and refugees caught up in Belarus-EU "hybrid warfare" are freezing to death in no man's land

18 Oct 2021  |  www.cbsnews.com
The article discusses the crisis at the Poland-Belarus border where migrants are attempting to cross into the European Union. Over 10,000 migrants, mainly from Iraq, Syria, Africa, and Cuba, have tried to enter Poland in two months, with at least five reported deaths. The Polish government has deployed troops and declared a state of emergency, leading to a media blackout. The EU accuses Belarus of instigating the crisis as retaliation for sanctions. Human rights groups criticize Poland for illegal 'push-backs' of migrants. The Polish human rights organization 'Ocalenie' is providing aid to migrants. The article includes accounts from Cuban migrants and a Syrian refugee, highlighting the false promises of an easy passage into the EU. The situation is worsening with the onset of colder weather, and there has been no EU intervention to resolve the crisis.

Legalising pushbacks

16 Aug 2021  |  Balkan Insight
The article discusses the situation on the Polish-Belarusian border where migrants have been experiencing pushbacks by Polish border guards. The Polish government is considering a draft law to legalize pushbacks, which would allow authorities to dismiss asylum requests from individuals crossing the border irregularly. This move is criticized by rights groups, including the Association for Legal Intervention, as being contrary to national and international laws, specifically the 1951 Geneva Convention. The Polish Ministry of Interior has not responded to inquiries about these pushbacks. The European Commission has stated that redirecting migrants to official crossing points is acceptable as long as their rights are respected. However, the article raises concerns about the safety and human rights of migrants, particularly in light of the injuries suffered by three Iraqi men, allegedly at the hands of Belarusian police.

For the "College Tour" show broadcast on Dutch television I shot an interview with foreign correspondent Emilie Van Outeren. The material was used as part of a long-form interview with Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya.
