Warsaw – Poland denied Chechen refugees the right of entry to Germany.
The Polish police detained a group of 59 Chechen refugees while they set off for different German cities in the wake of Poland’s integration into the Schengen province. Of the entire Chechens detained at two separate stations, 28 were children, authorities said.
The refugees hold visas that allow them to stay in Poland but ban them from traveling to other countries of the European Union, or EU, said Dorota Mazur, spokesperson for the border police.
Although the police have stopped strict checks along the border between Poland and Germany since last Thursday, suspects may still be subject to police investigation at times. The German administration warned the Polish government that stowaways might increase in number in the wake of Schengen. (Agency Caucasus)
