Episode 33: Preventing pushbacks at the Lithuania-Belarus border

The Civil Fleet Podcast

Jan 14 2023 • 1 hr 8 mins

In today's episode, we speak with Dalia, an activist from the Lithuanian human rights and medical aid organisation, Sienos Grupe (Border Group in English).

She tells us about the conditions faced by people trapped at Lithuania's border with Belarus, which has been sending people towards the EU since 2021, and how Russia may also be involved.

Dalia describes how Sienos Grupe are helping to prevent pushbacks at the border and support people in the country's refugee camps, as well as those who decide to stay in Lithuania.

We also hear how some Sienos Grupe members have been criminalised for their human rights work.
