Dramatic condition of the priest tortured while in custody, the court delays the justification of extension of his detention

Krzysztof Wąsowski, defense attorney of priest Michał Olszewski, argued today that the court was delaying in justifying the decision to extend the priest's detention. This has a serious impact on the health of the priest and two clerks detained in pretrial detention.

It is easy to notice that Father Michał Olszewski lost a lot of weight. We will show evidence in court regarding the torture to which the priest was allegedly subjected. There is still no justification for extending his detention. Every day for these people means a great loss of health and a part of their life. Such nonchalance on the part of the court? We are powerless. Without a justification, we have no way to appeal against this decision.

Wąsowski thus referred to the shocking situation in which the defense cannot appeal against the decision to extend the detention because the judge, known for her sympathies, did not prepare an appropriate justification for her controversial decision.
