WARSAW: A 23-year-old Syrian migrant was shot and wounded by a Polish soldier as he tried to cross the border from Belarus, an NGO said on Sunday.
The Polish prosecutor´s office said an investigation had been opened into the incident. The hospitalised migrant recounted that “as he was crossing the forest with a group of other migrants, an incomprehensible scream rang out behind them, followed immediately by a shot that hit him in the back,” Aleksandra Chrzanowska, a member of the Legal Intervention Association and Grancia border group, told AFP.
The young Syrian, who underwent surgery, “said he wanted to apply for international protection”, Chrzanowska said. “The military police opened an investigation,” prosecutor Radoslaw Wiszenko from the northeasat city Bialystok told the PAP news agency.
