Belarus travel restrictions have created some risks for the humanitarian corridor that Lithuania opened for Belarusians last year, but people fleeing the regime will always find refuge in the country, Interior Minister Agnė Bilotaitė said on Thursday.
Last year, Lithuania took steps to facilitate entry for Belarusians fleeing the country after the August presidential election triggered mass unrest. Those fleeing persecution are granted a Schengen visa under a simplified procedure that Lithuanian officials call the “humanitarian corridor”.
Belarus border guards have recently announced that only those holding permanent foreign residence permits, which fall outside the scop of the “humanitarian” visas, will be allowed to leave the country, a move that Belarus opposition says have made citizens hostages in their own country .
