Polish authorities say the individuals posed various security and public-order risks.

The group, which included four Georgians, seven Uzbeks, and three Tajiks, was transported under guard on a charter flight from Kraków-Balice Airport to their home countries.

Poland’s interior minister issued the deportation order for the Georgian suspect following an intelligence assessment linking him to terrorist activities.

Other individuals, deemed threats to state security, were expelled for alleged offenses ranging from people smuggling to repeated theft. One had served four convictions for robbery, and another had been prosecuted nine times for driving under the influence of alcohol.

So far this year, nearly 3,000 foreign nationals have been ordered to leave Poland, including around 500 Georgians.
