The Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights has sent a letter to the Polish interior minister regarding the unlawful denial of entry to foreigners seeking international protection in Poland (particularly Tajiks and Chechens).

It is outrageous that Poland, whose citizens have sought refuge abroad at many times in history, now refuses to protect people who are exposed to similar repression by their governments.
