Polish monk’s arrest in Belarus “provocation” by Łukašenka – Polish special services
Grzegorz Gaweł
September 5, Pozirk. The arrest of Polish national Grzegorz Gaweł in Belarus, suspected of spying, is Alaksandar Łukašenka’s “another provocation” against Poland, said Jacek Dobrzyński, spokesman for the Polish minister coordinator of special services.
“Polish special services do not use monks to gather information about military maneuvers,” the official stressed on X.
Warsaw is well aware of the Minsk regime and knows what to expect from it, said Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski in a comment on the incident.
Earlier, Marcin Bosacki, secretary of state at Poland’s foreign ministry, called Gaweł’s arrest a “bad signal” from Minsk, suggesting it could be either a provocation or a fabricated story.
Yesterday, the state-run Belarus 1 channel reported on the arrest of a Polish national in Lepiel, Viciebsk region, on suspicion of spying. He was identified as Grzegorz Gaweł, born in 1998, a resident of Krakow and a Carmelite monk.
The report claimed that he collected classified information about the counterintelligence command and its officers, military sites and the forthcoming Zapad-2025 exercise for the Internal Security Agency.
