Polish soldiers will be given the legal right to use weapons at the border after a recent scandal when they were arrested for firing shots, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Friday.
A recent scandal was caused in Poland when photos were published by local media of handcuffed servicemen who were arrested for shooting at people trying to cross the Polish-Belarusian border illegally.
"The possibility of using force and weapons in a threatening situation should be something obvious to the Polish soldier when defending the border," Tusk told reporters, adding that Polish Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz was tasked with preparing proposals for relevant changes to Polish legislation.
