POLAND’S leader is set to present plans today to suspend the right to asylum.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced plans at the weekend to temporarily suspend the right to asylum as part of a new migration policy, citing its alleged abuse by eastern neighbour Belarus and Russia.

Mr Tusk said that “the state must regain 100 per cent of the control over who enters and leaves Poland,” and that a territorial suspension of the right to asylum will be part of a strategy that will be presented to a Cabinet meeting today, Polish news agency PAP reported.
