Some 2,000 refugees still stranded at Belarusian-Polish border: Belarus Border Committee

Minsk, Nov 9 (UNI/Sputnik) Close to 2,000 refugees are still stranded at the Belarusian border with Poland, Anton Bychkovsky, a spokesman from the State Border Committee of Belarus, told Sputnik on Tuesday.
The committee said on Monday that over 1,000 refugees from the Middle East and Africa are moving to the border with Poland. Later in the day, the body said that situation on the border remains extremely tense — Polish security forces used aviation to exert psychological pressure and sprayed refugees with tear gas, despite lack of aggressive behavior from the refugees, Minsk said.
"Migrants are still on the border with Poland," Bychkovsky said, noting the estimated number of refugees is up to 2,000 people.
