ABOUT
“Due to the situation at the Polish-Belarusian border, the number of detention centres [in Poland] increased from 6 to 9 and the number of places in detention centres increased from 628 to 2,308 at the end of 2021. In August 2021, new detention centres were opened […including] in Wędrzyn as a result of a cooperation between Border Guards, the Head of the Office for Foreigners and the Ministry of National Defence (in case of Wędrzyn). In August 2022, the Border Guard closed the detention centre […] Wędrzyn.”
