Banners saying "Free Father Michał" were hung all over Warsaw

 Last night, 20 banners with the clear message "Free Father Michael" were hung throughout Warsaw. This is a joint action of civic resistance groups.

Fr. Michał Olszewski, head of the Profeto Foundation, has been held in mining detention by the Bodnar activists for seven months in connection with the Justice Fund case. In recent days, the court dismissed the priest's appeal against his detention. According to the priest's account, he was subjected to abuses that qualify as torture under international law. Fr Olszewski's defense lawyer announced that he would submit a complaint in this matter to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.
