After 4 years of investigation and trial, the founder of tv Go Under Current and pastor of the fresh Covenant Church in Lublin Paweł Chojeckand He was convicted. The Lublin Court of Appeals maintained the judgement of the First Instance court by punishing 8 months of restrictions on freedom in the form of social work. The pastor was besides ordered to pay the costs at both instances. Under the Polish system, Pastor Chojecki can no longer appeal this judgment. The case will be dealt with by global institutions.The process has upset honest Poles. As a consequence of this outrage, the deficiency of freedom of speech and religion in Poland created the movement “We are going to freedom”. After the verdict was announced, Pastor Chojecki announced that the social movement “We are going for freedom” He will exhibit his candidate in the 2025 presidential election.
With the success of tv Go Under Current in 2016, the hunt for Chojecki, his household and the Church began. The Hathers tried to intimidate the pastor, threatened to kill him and his family, harassed with slanders on the Internet, established groups to destruct tv Go Under Current and Church of the fresh Covenant in Lublin. During this time there were physical attacks on the Church, billboards or cars of people working on TV. The prosecution was consistently incapable to detect the perpetrators and depreciated the proceedings. The helicopters threatened to assemble a trial against Pastor Chojecki. And indeed in 2019, the Lublin D.A. under Minister Ziobrze began proceedings against the pastor on the basis of short clippings from his sermons and programs involving the pastor. The clippings were described as anti-Semitic and offensive titles. With over 1,000 hours of programs, the D.A. chose a fewer words to draw up a curiosity indictment. It's hard to believe, but the pastor has been accused of... praising the launch of an assault war with North Korea! The widely known fact is that this war has been going on since 1950... Additionally, the pastor was accused of insulting the Polish nation, insulting president Andrzej Duda, insulting spiritual feelings of Catholics and insulting Catholic spiritual objects. The pastor's alleged responsibility was, among another things, that he said that in the eyes of God, who paid for our salvation with the blood of his only boy Jesus Christ, Catholic sacraments and attempts to gain their salvation are "like stinking scum." The individual who revealed himself to children in Fatima was called a ghost, and according to prosecutor Urban and justice of the first instance of Andrzej Klimkowski is simply a crime.
In favour of the pastor, the erstwhile priest – and then the pastor – Jerzy, pastor and scientist Ireneusz Dawidowicz and associate of the Bureau of the Council of Baptist Christian Church in Poland testified. All of them were united with the Biblical views of Pastor Chojecki in conflict with the false teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. The Catholic Episcopate of Poland, in which letter It says of the views and language of Pastor Chojecki: “This kind of terms: strong, strong, offensive, were utilized in spiritual polemics in the 16th century. However, specified expressions, after 5 100 years of the Reformation, are no longer utilized by ministers, theologians, clergymen, and followers of Christ in many of Christendom. [...] The Roman Catholic Church cares about good relations with another Churches and spiritual communities in Poland. It depends on friendly and fraternal relationships. But not all Christian communities present decide to participate, at least in the ecumenical movement."
The outrage of the prosecution's harassment and the courts of Pastor Chojecki was expressed by many representatives of the media world, the politicalJews and religions from Poland and abroad. Among others, editor Hanna Shen, ed. Eli Barbur, ed. Eliza Michalik, met. Artur Nowak, met. Danuta Wawrowska, prof. Tadeusz Bartosz, prof.

After the verdict, Pastor Chojecki commented on what happened:
"I would like to thank justice Wojciech Zaręba for this sentence. This is simply a clear message for Poland and the world. [...] This judgement shows the limits of our freedom – or alternatively our captivity. [...] It's not an exaggeration erstwhile I talk about the catocomuna strategy and that we're just going for freedom. [...] Our decision “We are going for freedom” has a clear goal – to change Poland. And from this point on, I would like to announce that as a consequence of what happened around this process, the agitation of people of good will, who do not agree with murderism in Poland, with slavery, with the privilege of Catholic bishops – we are going for freedom besides in the political sphere. [...] In 2025 – unless God decides otherwise – we will exposure our candidate for president. [...] We want to end slavery for all Poles. So aid us God!”
Thanks to all those who do not agree to take freedom of speech and religion from Poles, he announced that the aftermath of this scandalous process would be to proceed building the social movement “We are going to get freedom” so that in 2025 the free and Protestant communities could put forward a candidate for presidential elections. In 1980, we began our way to freedom, but the collusion of Catholic bishops with communist criminals stopped us halfway. Today, the young generation, who no longer wants a hybrid of freedom, wants a average fair state of Free Poles. specified a country is our target. Together we will complete the work of Solidarity!
