Those caught by Polish border guards, however, face two scenarios: Being illegally pushed back to Belarus or being locked up in Polish refugee prisons.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"alignright\"><p>Monday, September 11, 7:30 p.m.<br \/>\nGreen Salon, Volksb\u00fchne, Berlin<br \/>\nU2 Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The film &#8222;We were prisoners of the Polish state&#8220; by Wojciech Szumowski and Rut Kurkiewicz tells the stories of refugees who came to Poland and, instead of receiving protection, were locked up for months or even years under very harsh conditions.
