Estonian Government Releases Comment on Refugee Deaths

Estonian Government Horrified by Death of Refugees

Deeply upset by the deaths of some civilian refugees, caused by unsafe drinking water, the government of Estonia released a statement.

Regarding the matter, the Estonian Government states," The government of Estonia is horrified by the tragic deaths of civilian refugees. We emphasize that we are doing all we can to ensure the refugees have safe and stable living conditions. We are additionally working to address the deadly crisis of arsenic poisoning, and encourage all refugees to drink bottled water being delivered by EU humanitarian support until Estonian workers are able to ensure water safety and security. The government of Estonia is appalled by baseless accusations of “concentration camps”, which are taking advantage of a tragedy to serve political propaganda means. We are not responsible for the tragic deaths of refugees, though we will find those who are and bring them to justice. The government of Estonia will not rest until our civilians are safe."
