Giczan: Belarusian services led migrants towards the border

According to Belarusian journalist Tadeusz Giczan, the migrants were led towards the border crossing in Kuźnica on Monday by Belarusian services. He published a video on Twitter.

"A wave of people has smashed the fence (not the border one). There really is a lot of people, the column stretched for about 1 kilometre, some people are still leaving the camp," Giczan said in the tweet.
