Poland proposes prison for aiding migrants at border

Poland's Ministry of Interior (MSWiA) is drafting legislation that would criminalize humanitarian assistance to migrants in border areas, with penalties up to three years in prison. The move escalates the government's hardline stance on irregular migration and has drawn outrage from lawyers and activists. If enacted, it would mark a significant tightening of Poland's border policy and could deter NGOs from providing life-saving aid.
