RADOM, POLAND

Poland's president pardons 2 imprisoned politicians

Several hundred people protested in front of the prison in the city of Radom, Tuesday 23 Janyary 2024 demanding the immediate release of Law and Justice politician and former Minister of Internal Affairs Michał Kaminski. Poland’s president said Tuesday he was once again pardoning two politicians who were arrested earlier this month amid a bitter standoff between the new centrist government and the previous conservative administration. Kaminski and Wąsik were convicted of abuse of power and forging documents for actions taken in 2007, when they served in an earlier Law and Justice-led government. Critics point to Duda’s pardon in 2015 as an example of his disregard for Poland’s law and acting in the interest of Law and Justice. Kaminski was released later at night.
