The speed with which EU leaders have rushed to abandon 7 decades of accepted international law, born out of the post-war consensus… It's just sickening…

Here are 5 key points about asylum seekers on the Polish border:
1️⃣ They are human.
2️⃣ They have rights.
3️⃣ Laws exist to cover these situations.
4️⃣ #Poland is breaking the law.
5️⃣ The European Commission is complicit in these abuses.
