Human Rights Watch’s urgent call for the European Commission to intervene against Poland’s illegal pushbacks of asylum seekers highlights the severe human rights abuses at the borders. Despite hopes for reform under the new government, the situation remains dire, with reports of inhuman treatment, legal violations, and a troubling trend towards increased militarization and exclusion. The lives of vulnerable individuals hang in the balance as Poland faces scrutiny for its approach to refugees, demanding immediate and decisive action from EU authorities.
