Detainee did not have any documents. He named himself 32-year-old citizen of Iraq who had been a student of Sumy Polytechnic University since 2007. According to the words of the foreigner he was working up as barber-stylist and had two corresponding Ukrainian diplomas. In order to improve his professional status the barber wanted to get also diplomas in the countries of European Union, however he could not get visa. Thus, he decided to get illegally to Poland.
