MINSK, May 12. /TASS/. The International Court of Justice in the Hague rejected to review the case of murder of refugees at the Polish-Belarusian Border, filed over testimonies of late fugitive Polish soldier Emil Czeczko, according to Belarus’ "Sistemnaya Pravozaschita" ["Systemic Human Rights Protection"] center that filed the documents in The Hague.
"The Hague tribunal refused to review the case, file over testimonies of Polish Soldier Emil Czeczko regarding mass murder of refugees at Polish-Belarusian border," the center said in its Telegram channel.
Emil Czeczko, serviceman of Polish Armed Forces’ 16th Pomeranian Mechanized Division, crossed into Belarus on December 16 last year and asked for shelter in Belarus over his disagreement with Poland’s brutal policy regarding migrants. He disclosed that, during his service at the border in June last year, Polish forces could have murdered between 200 and 700 migrants. In late January, Czeczko announced that he contacted the International Court of Justice in The Hague. Back then, "Sistemnaya Pravozaschita" CEO Dmitry Belyakov said that, should the court open a case, Czeczko will be ready to undergo all examinations, including the lie detector.
On March 17, Czeczko was found dead at his residence in Minsk. Belarusian experts speculated that he could have been murdered; a forensic research was scheduled to determine the precise cause of death. On May 5, Czeczko was buried at a military cemetery near Minsk.
