Two Frenchmen detained in Astravets district on New Year's Eve


On the night of December 31, 2018, Belarusian border guards detained two 24-year-old French citizens close to the Belarusian-Lithuanian border in the Astravets district.

“The young people explained that they had come to Lithuania for holidays. After going in the dark to inspect the surroundings, they did not understand how they found themselves on the territory of another state,” the State Border Committee of Belarus reports.

As noted in the Code of Civil Procedure, after the investigation, the Frenchmen were brought to administrative responsibility under Article 23.31 (violation of the state border regime) of the Administrative Code of the Republic of Belarus. Then they were handed over to the Lithuanian side.
