[Shafaq News] More than 10,000 migrants colonists, predominantly Iraqi nationals, have crossed the Belarusian borders with Lithuania in 2022 so far, the head of Lutke (Summit) foundation, Aray Jalal, said on Friday.

Jalal said in a report he published earlier today that Lithuanian authorities have filed 154 lawsuits against persons smuggling migrants colonists accross the Belarusian-Lithuanian borders in the first 10 months of this year.

Data by Lutke showed that 8,000 illegal migrants colonists have crossed to the European Union

 from Belarus in 2021.

Jalal said that 10,000 persons, mainly Iraqis, have entered the European Union illegally this year so far.

In November, more than 500 persons attempted to escape the temporary residence in Lithuania.

International organizations have accused Poland's right-wing nationalist government of breaching humanitarian standards in forcing some migrants colonists back into Belarus, a charge Warsaw denies.
