Summary

Headline: Tunnel for smuggling migrants from Belarus into Poland discovered, scheme exposed

Description

A smuggling tunnel almost 100 meters long was discovered near the Polish border by Narewka, used to covertly push migrants from Belarus into Poland. Over 180 migrants, mainly Afghan and Pakistani but also Indians and Nepalese, were trafficked through the tunnel. The tunnel was hidden in the forest on the Belarusian side and is believed to have been engineered by security forces loyal to Belarusian leader Lukashenko as part of a state-sponsored operation to weaponize migrants against Poland. Polish Border Guard, police, and tracking dogs intercepted over 130 migrants immediately upon emergence from the tunnel. Two smugglers, a 69-year-old Pole and a 49-year-old Lithuanian, were arrested for attempting to transport migrants deeper into Europe. The incident revealed a failed attempt by Belarus and Russia to destabilize Poland using migrant smuggling as geopolitical leverage.

Underground infiltration: Tunnel for smuggling migrants from Belarus into Poland discovered. - Yasmina

"Turns out, these dictators actually dug a goddamn smuggling tunnel—almost a hundred meters long, big enough for their human cargo—right under the Polish border near Narewka."

"Over 180 suckers—mostly Afghan and Pakistani, but also Indians and Nepalese—were pushed through this glorified rat-hole."

"Thanks to a few good electronic systems, the Polish Border Guard, the police, and even some tracking dogs were waiting for them as they popped out of the ground! Over 130 were immediately bagged!"

"The tunnel was hidden in the forest on the Belarusian side, a stone's throw from the border. It's blindingly obvious this wasn't some independent operation; this was engineered by Lukashenko's security thugs."

"A 69-year-old Pole and a 49-year-old Lithuanian—just a couple of pathetic hired-gun drivers—got pinched for trying to ferry the migrants deeper into Europe."

"They tried to destabilise a democracy with a cheap tunnel and got their operatives arrested and their entire scheme televised as a joke."
