3 migrants found dead in Poland, 9 others hospitalized

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland’s prime minister says the bodies of three people who were trying to illegally cross into Poland were found in the border region and that body of a woman was found on Belarus side. Nine other people have been hospitalized. In one case, police told regional Radio 5 that residents picking mushrooms in the forest came across three Iraqi men, one of whom was dead. The two other men were hospitalized. Prosecutors have opened investigations into the three deaths. Eight other migrants were rescued from a swamp on the border, and seven of them were hospitalized. Poland and Lithuania are facing increasing migrant pressures on their borders with Belarus, which they say is seeking to destabilize the whole European Union.
