Poland has announced a series of measures to suspend the rights of migrants to apply for asylum, citing security concerns amid escalating tensions at the Belarus border. The Polish president has signed a new law and decree that restricts asylum rights and prohibits the acceptance of new asylum seekers from this region. Reports of brutality and human rights violations have emerged, with accusations against Belarusian forces concerning violence against women and incidents of pushbacks at the border. The Polish government is under criticism for its handling of the situation, with opposition to the EU Migration Pact emphasized despite the harsh measures being implemented.
