Fr Michał Olszewski, who had been in custody for 7 months, went free. Surrounded by people waiting for him from prison, he did not hide his emotion. As he said, it was your prayers that brought me out. 2 officials were besides released: Urszula D. and Karolina K. All 3 of them may have left custody after deposit of PLN 350,000 per person.

Professor Nowak in an interview with the portal inPoliticy.pl talks about the lesson we should learn from this situation.

This visible resistance, manifested publically today, has any kind of effect and this gives me hope that “Poland has not died yet”. possibly it sounds a small pathetic, due to the fact that not everyone was protesting, any were passive. I think especially of certain politicians, but besides of any of the hierarchy of the Church. This inactivity was peculiarly depressing. But not all were passive and did not forget the priest. The manifestation of civilian and human attitudes has produced results and I am very happy about that. From this lesson we should learn certain lessons. If individual is in specified a situation, we must not leave him alone, against injustice and harm.

Outstanding creators in defence of Fr Michał Olszewski. "We request immediate release from detention"

Since Fr Michał Olszewski and 2 MS officials were arrested, It's been over six months.. Keeping people in prison from being guilty is an exceptional measurement and is only applicable in the event that a trial cannot be carried out otherwise. Meanwhile, Fr Olszewski is suspected of having his foundation ‘did not meet the conditions of the competition organised by MS’ in the times of Z. Ziebra, and the officials said that the competition had been conducted as if defective.

To treat this case as a dangerous crime amazes all conscious and honest man. After all, whether a given entity is or is not admitted to the competition depends on the officials, and their decision by nature is arbitrary, which we have frequently seen, especially recently.

For the first 60 hours after the arrest of Fr Olszewski and the arrested officials with him were deliberately tormented and humiliated, and in a way that is considered by global conventions as torture. Their defenders inactive don't have access to trial work. The current Minister of Justice, Adam Bodnar, erstwhile he was a spokesperson for civilian rights, resented the usage of alleged handcuffs linked to the child's murderer. present he is not disturbed by specified harassment against Fr Olszewski and ministerial officials.

Regardless of the actions of the prosecution and the prison service, a run of slander is organised against the detainees. They are portrayed as corrupt persons, although in the course of the investigation there was not even a charge of misappropriating material advantages, not to mention evidence. The D.A.'s office speaks of “a membership of a criminal group” as a mockery. However, there is no word anywhere that the foundation of Fr Olszewski built a centre for victims of crime.

All these actions, and above all, the extension of 3 undefeated persons are clearly politically motivated. This is an outrage, regardless of specified beliefs or another beliefs, about the merits of the case. It resembles communist practices of criminalizing political opponents and forcing evidence on them.

We turn to fellow citizens to jointly protest this legal scandal, which reproaches not only the existing codes, but besides the standards of social life, and whose victims are Polish citizens without any evidence of guilt.

We request immediate release from the detention of Fr Olszewski and 2 ministerial officials. 1 cannot stand by and watch people be tormented in front of us without proven guilt and destroyed in an irreversible way their lives.

Here's the text.

Kraków, 9 July 2024.

Dear Mr President,

When Poles elected you twice to the highest office in the state, they entrusted you as the Head of State to stand watch over the Constitution. Both the Constitution and global agreements oblige Poland to respect human rights. Poles fighting for freedom and independency in times of communism, repeatedly demanded respect for human rights and it was a weapon uncomfortable for communist power. We have played a historical function by importantly expanding the area where simple human rights are respected. The 1988 global Conference on Human Rights in Kraków Masters was well recorded in our history. After 1989, Poland saw us critically, but its undoubted accomplishment was to grow the scope of individual freedom, speech or assembly, and to quit the usage of illegal force by power.

Dear Mr President,

We received with large concern letters from the prison about the torture suffered by 2 women - Polish officials and priest Michał Olszewski. Abstaining sleep from the anticipation of utilizing the toilet, humiliating incentives to take care of the bottle or throw up “under yourself”, forcing women to strip and urinate or shower in the presence of guards – men, tormenting light and noise, disposing of defence and obstructing spiritual practices – are practices that frost blood in the veins in the state of law.

Poles are powerfully divided today, but we are certain that the opposition to specified practices unites the vast majority of us above divisions. That is why we are asking the President, in mention to these glorious traditions, with a strong call for an urgent organisation of the Human Rights Conference, during which representatives of the authorities, NGOs and all curious communities will make a consensus to which compliance will be committed by all parties to political disputes. due to the fact that I think we all agree that we want Poland without torture.
