17 foreigners detained in the capital of Poland

Employees of the Border Guard of Poland detained 17 foreigners who did not have the right to stay in Poland. Among them are citizens of Tajikistan.

According to Polish media, the Border Guard of Poland conducted checks on the legality of foreigners’ stay and identified 17 individuals who violated residence rules in the country.

According to the Border Guard, among the detained foreigners were citizens of Tajikistan, Russia, Uzbekistan, Georgia, Iraq, Turkmenistan, Vietnam, and India. All of them are men without legal status to stay in Poland. Eight of them did not comply with decisions requiring them to leave the country, while the others had invalid visas or were denied temporary residence permits by the authorities.

Among the detainees were also foreigners who illegally crossed the state border and arrived in Poland from Germany and Lithuania.

One of the detainees, a citizen of Georgia, used forged documents. Two citizens of Vietnam were also detained, one of whom, in addition to illegal stay, was wanted by the police under an arrest warrant for failing to pay a fine, while the other behaved aggressively and used force against the officer conducting the check.

Administrative cases were initiated against all detained foreigners with the aim of deportation.

Preventive measures in the form of arrest were applied to four individuals, and two men were placed in a guarded center for foreigners.

This is not the first time that citizens of Tajikistan have been detained in Poland on charges of violating residence rules in the country.
