   S05 Summer Short E08: AGE AS A SENTENCE. Age assessment along Polish-Belarusian Border

   In this episode, we highlight a humanitarian crisis that has unfolded on the Polish-Belarusian border over the past five years. We examine the harsh mistreatment migrants endure from authorities on both sides, violent pushbacks, and the severe lack of essential humanitarian and emotional aid, as well as the flawed "age check" procedures that wrongly classify vulnerable children as adults, stripping them of basic legal protections and putting young lives at grave risk. 👉 Watch the full episode now: https://youtu.be/n6zo_4YWP2s?si=geMGNlfpM26eCAAS

We explore the harsh reality of living in overcrowded refugee camps across Bangladesh, where basic rights are stripped away.
