Court Hears Appeal Against Sentences for 2005 Warsaw Demonstration
Yak, Pią, 2010-06-11 23:22 English 
On June 7 there was an appeal case of two activists arrested on May 16, 2005 after the demonstration against the Council of Europe Summit in Warsaw. The activists were falsely accused of violating the physical integrity of police officers, impeding the police and using "bad language" against them. 11 people were arrested. On Dec. 3, 2008, 7 people were found guilty and given various sentences, ranging from fines to 3-5 years probation. People who had never been sentenced for anything before received fines while the others got more serious sentences.
The appeal court overturned this decision on the appeal of two of the convicted and sent the case back down to the lower court to be heard again.
