A coffin and a crucifix with NN plate are seen during a funeral of an unknown man, probably a migrant, who was found dead in a forest on September 19th by Polish-Belarusian border. Sokolka, Poland on November 22, 2021. A man was buried at the catholic cemetery but a priest did not conduct funeral rites as there was no evidence of what was the denomination of the deceased, despite a Holy Bible was found by the body.
