Desperate refugee throws himself in front of truck on Latvian border

A refugee on the border with Latvia threw himself under the wheels of a truck. The incident occurred at the international border crossing point Paternieki (Grigorovshchina on the Belarusian side), where a group of migrants arrived. These people were trying for the 10th time to apply for refugee status in Latvia, as well as to summon a UN official. 15 citizens of Afghanistan, including 10 children, were in dire need of medical care, food and clothing. One of the men, being in a desperate state, attempted suicide by throwing himself under the wheels of a heavy vehicle on its way from Latvia to Belarus. In such a way the foreigner wanted to draw attention to the reluctance of the Latvian side to accept the citizens of Afghanistan to its territory. Thanks to the lightning-fast reaction of Belarusian border guards, who stopped the truck at the border line, the Afghan is alive.
