Dear Editor,
Following all the recent dramatic reports on the situation on the Polish-Belarusian border with Russian bomber sorties, British paratroopers assisting in manning the border fence and freezing refugees dying in the forests on both sides of the border, there are two other forgotten victims of this confrontation between the West and the East. I am referring to Andzelika Borys, President of the Union of Poles in Belarus, and journalist Andrzej Poczobut, her Vice-President, who are now effectively hostages, held in a Belarusian jail without trial, after being arrested in March, and accused on trumped up charges of causing a riot for organizing and taking part in a Polish religious festival. Other Polish leaders had also been arrested and were then deported to Poland.
We urge Liz Truss,the Foreign Secretary, to denounce this repressive act along with condemning the Belarusina authorities for their brutal suppression of human rights and for stoking international tension by enticing gullible Middle Eastern refugees to cross the Polish border illegally.
Yours faithfully
Wiktor Moszczynski
Spokesman for Federation of Piles in Gt Britain.
