The suspension of the right to asylum at the border with Belarus will last longer

The Polish Sejm approved an extension of the temporary suspension of the right to apply for international protection at the border with Belarus for another 60 days starting November 17. This decision follows ongoing concerns about migration instrumentalization and security threats. The government cited incidents of aggression against Polish patrols and involvement of Belarusian state services in these attacks. Despite the suspension, certain vulnerable groups can still apply for protection. Social organizations oppose these restrictions, arguing they violate constitutional rights and international obligations regarding refugee status.
