Ukrainian artist Anastazja Snisarenko-Jerżykowska reported an incident that, according to her, took place at Warsaw Chopin Airport. The woman claims that her daughter was forced to remove almost all of her clothing during a security check in front of other travelers.
She described the matter on social media, expressing outrage at the way the inspection was conducted.
“What country do you think could have something like this happen at an airport?” – wrote Anastazja Snisarenko-Jerżykowska.
According to her account, during the security check, her daughter was asked to remove her outerwear, leaving her in only a bra and shorts. As the author of the post emphasizes, the security check was not to take place in a separate room, but in a public area of the terminal.
“During a checkup, strip a young girl, leaving only her bra and shorts on? Not in a separate room, but in a common hall? Isn’t that a violation of human rights? Isn’t that humiliating for women?” – she wrote.
The woman added that the incident concerned her daughter Polina and took place at Chopin Airport in Warsaw.
“This is exactly what happened to our daughter, Polina, at Chopin Airport in Warsaw. That’s why my husband and I can’t ignore it and at least speak out about what we believe was humiliating treatment.”
At the end of the post, she also referred to political discussions:
“Those who so zealously defend the actions of some politicians and criticize our own should live in the real world, not in a reality they have created for themselves.”
At the moment, the described event is known only from the account published by the girl’s mother on social media.. Neither Chopin Airport nor the relevant services have publicly commented on these allegations so far. Therefore, the circumstances of the incident have not been independently confirmed.
If there is an official position from the airport or the Border Guard, the article will be updated.
