Description
Interior ministers from EU countries meets in Lithuania to discuss migration and the bloc's border security measures. Thousands of migrants -- mainly from the Middle East -- have crossed or tried to cross the eastern border of the European Union into Latvia, Lithuania or Poland since last summer. In Lithuania alone, almost 8,200 people have been denied entry in what aid groups describe as illegal pushbacks. Governments in the region defend the tactic, saying it is the only way to stop the influx, which the West blames on the Belarusian regime. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
