No evidence of Iraqi migrants killed on Polish border, Baghdad says
2022-06-25
[Rudaw] Iraq on Thursday denied the arbitrary killing of Iraqi migrants colonists on the Polish border following Belarusian claims that "mass executions" were carried out against Iraqis on the Belarus-Poland border earlier this year.

A Belarusian investigative committee on Tuesday claimed that "criminal actions" were taken against 135 Iraqis by Polish security forces leading to the death of a number of them, alleging that information of "mass execution" and "secret burial" of Iraqi migrants colonists was disclosed to the Belarusians by a polish army deserter.

Iraq’s foreign ministry addressed the recent claims which accused Polish forces of committing a number of human rights
...not to be confused with individual rights, mind you...
violations against Iraqi migrants colonists, saying there was no evidence of the execution of Iraqis on Poland’s border.

"The foreign ministry’s procedures regarding migrants colonists started last February and the killing of migrants colonists has not been proven to us," state media reported the ministry’s spokesperson Ahmed al-Sahaf as saying.

Nonetheless, he stressed that Iraqi migrants colonists have passed away to varying circumstances.

A number of these migrants colonists died in freezing temperatures on the Belarus-Poland border and others drowned in the sea, suffering a catastrophic fate.

. In mid-November, Iraq began offering free flights to those who chose to return voluntarily.

Over 3,800 Iraqis and Kurds returned voluntarily, Sahaf noted while emphasizing that the rate of migration increased "strangely" last year.

Around 37 thousand people left Iraq and the Kurdistan Region in the first 10 months of 2021, according to a refugee foundation.
