BOHONIKI, Poland (Reuters) - In a grave decorated with branches and surrounded by stones, an unnamed migrant was laid to rest in a Muslim cemetery in north east Poland on Thursday, a recent victim of a migrant crisis on the country's border with Belarus but not the last.

The funeral in the village of Bohoniki of a man thought to have travelled from Africa was the second such ceremony organised this week by the local Tatar Muslim community.
