According to earlier plans, the investigation was to be concluded at the turn of 2021 and 2022. The deadline for the final, comprehensive substantive decision has been extended respective times. This was affected, among others, by the amount of evidence to be processed.
The investigation of events of 28 and 29 June 1956 in Poznań has been ongoing since 1991.
