A decision has been made regarding the stowaways. The Algerians will be placed in a guarded center for foreigners
According to Tadeusz Gruchalla from the Maritime Border Guard Unit, two stowaways from a Bahamian-flagged cargo ship detained on January 21 at the Police port by the Szczecin Border Guard will be placed in a Guarded Center for Foreigners for up to three months. This decision was made by the Szczecin Prawobrzeże and West District Court.
In brief
The District Court Szczecin Prawobrzeże i Zachód in Szczecin has ordered two Algerian nationals to be placed in a Guarded Centre for Foreigners for a period of up to three months. The stowaways from a Bahamas-flagged merchant vessel were detained on 21 January in the port of Police by Polish Border Guard officers from Szczecin. The men, who arrived from Algeria aboard a bulk carrier, have applied for international protection, said Tadeusz Gruchalla, spokesman for the Maritime Border Guard Unit. The further fate of the detainees depends on a decision by the Head of the Office for Foreigners.
The court's decision involves two Algerians who arrived in Police on a bulk carrier from Algeria. They applied for international protection through the Border Guard. Until the Head of the Office for Foreigners reviews their applications, they will remain in a guarded center operated by the Border Guard. Their future will depend on the decision of that authority, as stated to the Daily Mare by Tadeusz Gruchalla, spokesperson for the Maritime Border Guard Unit.
