This is likely most famous Afghans in Lithuania. They became famous few weeks ago:
For the first time they tried to illegaly cross the border from Belarus on September 5 but were moved back to Belarus by Lithuanian border guards. Then they tried to find the legal support and found it in the name of two women and one man: legal adviser of UNHCR Vladimir Sinev, Vilnius attorney Asta Astrauskiene and Red Cross volunteer Laura. Attorney filled the suite against Lithuania to European Court of Human Rights stating that they fled Afghanistan because being liberal Westernized Afghans they are particularly vulnerable to taliban reprisals. On September 8 ECHR made a decision stating that if they are in Lithuanian teritory Lithuania needs not to push them back to Belarus (rumours that decision was made by judges from Bulgaria and Armenia). Having the copy of Court's decision they again tried to enter Lithuania on September 9 but were pushed back to Belarus because court stated that Lithuania needs not to return them back to Belarus if they are in Lithuania. Then they dissapeared for few days but returned back on September 14.
This time they were together with one woman journalist (Vilma Danauskiene) who likes various scandals. They met on the border (about 200 meters from state border) and Danauskiene made live TV translation when border guards arrived saying "You see they are inside Lithuania". Trying to avoid problems authorities this time allowed them to enter the country. Next day they asked for the political refuge. Here we need to say that border guards and police kinological service found the fresh path leading from Belarus to the place where they met Danauskiene ...
Then Afghans (or who they are) made a numerous interviews to local media. The story that they told sounded as follows. They were not familiar with each other when they met in Kabul in August. They were very supportive of the US and NATO in Afghanistan and seeing that taliban is taking city after city decided to flee the country. They paid 7000 USD each to mafia to leave the country. The human traffickers moved them from Kabul to Kandahar first. From Kandahar they were transported to Uzbekistan. In Tashkent they took a seats in a plane flying to Minsk. In Minsk they were moved right to the border by Belarusian authorities (these authorities confiscated their documents according those Afghans) and brought them right to the Lithuanian border and said "Go that direction". That's was their story told by them to Lithuanian media several times. One more detail provided by them was that they were beaten by Belarusian special services because no one in their group can't speak Russian and Belarusian authorities were very unhappy them not understanding Russian ...
But now the information obtained by Lithuanian police and other organizations as well as media tells completely different story. Those Afghans at least for 2-3 years lived in Russia (Moscow and Kazan at least). It seems that they had residence permits in Russia. At least two of them are graduates of Russian universities. They perfectly knew each other and made and published a lot of photos together especially in Russian social networks:
They were so well integrated into Russian life that even made photos in Russian national colours:
Remember they told that they can't speak Russian and had problems with Belarusian border guards. It's a big shame for Moscow State pedagogical university that their graduates with the speciality "Teacher of Russian language" can't speak Russian :)
What to say ? It's a big problem when taliban is capturing Moscow and is forcing the poor Afghans to flee Moscow ...
To say the truth in this case I would be happy if they will be put on trial. For illegal crossing of the border. For providing fake information. For lying to authorities and the public:
