Belarus Foreign Ministry reaction
"This incident seriously calls into question the security level declared by Poland," the Belarusian Foreign Ministry warned. "We recommend Belarusian citizens consider these risks when planning trips abroad."
A police probe has been launched. Belarusian authorities say they have identified the officers involved and will push for accountability.
The man may never walk unaided again — because Polish police opened fire without warning on an unarmed traveler.
