Return of Three Kurdish Individuals Following an Eight-Month Stay in Belarus
In a developing story, three Kurdish individuals are scheduled to return to the Kurdistan region, an autonomous region in Iraq with Erbil as its capital, on Wednesday at 15:00 local time. The individuals were reportedly under arrest in Belarus for nearly eight months.
The reason for their arrest in Belarus remains unclear. However, it is known that they were attempting to reach Western Europe, joining hundreds of migrants who daily attempt to storm the borders of the EU from Belarusian territory. It appears that Belarusian authorities take no action to prevent migrants from attempting to cross the EU borders.
The return of the three Kurdish individuals is a significant event, as one of them is Mehmet Çakas, a Kurdish activist who was imprisoned in Germany and faced deportation to Turkey despite previous German decisions against his extradition due to political persecution risks. The government of the Kurdish region is covering the expenses for the trip of the three individuals.
The exact circumstances of the return and the current status of the three individuals are not clear at the time of this report, as it is unspecified if they have already returned to the Kurdistan region. The report does not provide further details about the other two Kurds involved.
This incident underscores the complex and ongoing issue of migration from the Middle East to Europe, with Belarus serving as a controversial transit point. As the story develops, more information about the return of these three individuals and the circumstances surrounding their arrest in Belarus is expected to come to light.
