(AP) Thirteen activists were detained Sunday in Poland for trying to destroy part of a barbed-wire barrier that Polish authorities have erected along the border with Belarus to stop migrants from crossing in.
The activists said it was an act of protest against Polish authorities for what they believe is the “inhuman treatment” of migrants seeking to enter the European Union nation.
Interior Minister Mariusz Kaminski, who is responsible for police and security, said what the protesters did was “absolutely unacceptable” and that those detained “will bear all the legal consequences of their actions.”
Those detained include 12 Poles and one Dutch citizen, according to Polish media reports.
