VIEW ACTION
They've been forced to kill.
FOR THIS ACT, SCHETIN SHOULD TAKE TO PRISON
Beating the testicles with keys, forcing them to sit naked, to sit on a police rod set on a storm, to gas in a closed car – according to the participants' study the police acted, forcing a confession during the Fork Action.
It was organized in 2008 by Grzegorz Schetyna, present a CODE enthusiast. Now about a 100 acquittal sentences have been filed. The remainder of the 752 detainees are inactive waiting for them.
– We request to show that we want to defend our freedom, that we will not let anyone take it distant – that is what Grzegorz Schetyna said about the demonstrations of the Committee for Democracy Defence.
MECENAS LENKIWICZ: IT WAS A PLANNED ACTION
These words were spoken by the author of the police action, which was the most drastic violation of freedom by the authorities after 1989. It consisted of stopping 752 supporters of the Legion of Warsaw. They were beaten at the police stations. In this way, they were forced to admit their guilt,” says patron Krzysztof Wąsowski, representing 1 of the detainees during the Fork Action. The fans were told: Admit it, we'll let you go. And if you don't, you're going to be arrested, says lawyer Norbert Lenkiewicz.
Mec. Lenkiewicz defended supporters who were tried in Sochaczew. 20 of them stood before the court there and all were acquitted. – There is no uncertainty that the operation was planned much earlier, due to the fact that there were prevention troops from various parts of Poland, not only from Warsaw. Both the number of officers and, above all, the vehicles on the site where the fans were moved were prepared for specified a immense number of detainees," the lawyer says.
In turn, the territory Court for Warsaw-Śródmieście acquitted at the end of September the next seventeen supporters. According to the lawyers, the acquittal judgments are already about a hundred, but the spokesperson for the territory Court in Warsaw could not give us the exact number of them.
The Lies of ITI MEDIA
"Gazeta Wyborcza", TVN and another media from ITI initially talked about the shares of 2 September 2008. "A fewer pseudokibs demolished the capital" – he called his news about these events the Onet.pl portal, which was the property of ITI at the time, as well as the club Legia Warszawa which was conflicted with fans.
[=-In the absence of photos from alleged riots (which were not) on TVN24, archival footage from the riots at the stadiums was released. As a TVN24 commentator, she invited 1 of her bosses, who, being a organization to the conflict, acted as a justice in her own case. Wojciech Kostrzewa, president of the ITI Group, argued: "Those for whom the smoke is more crucial than the match, with the real ball they do not have much to do".
The action symbol, remembered to this day, became a fork that police showed as evidence of aggressive intentions of fans. It was most likely a remnant of any picnic held in a place where the fans were crowded.
The fact was completely different. On September 2, 2008, a large group of Legia fans headed for Polonia Stadium, where the derby of Warsaw was held. As the court in Sochaczew established on the basis of both police recordings and city surveillance, the march was calm, and the police did not consider it an illegal fugitive due to the fact that it did not call for a divorce. Only at the stadium were the fans surrounded.
After the action, Marcin Szyndler, then a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police, said that fans would throw raccos, stones and effort to force the stadium gate. The court found otherwise.
– The footage shows that 3 or 4 racers flew to Polonia Stadium. There is no stone throwing, and there is no effort to breach the stadium gate. After all, the participants of the march were separated from her by the police – says patron Lenkiewicz.
Those who threw later punished the courts, but throwing a fewer rac became an excuse to halt the full crowd. Among those surrounded by the police were besides chance passersby and blind people leaving the close office of the Polish Union of the Blind.
As a result, the D.A.'s 688 people have been charged with “active participation in a fugitive, the intent of which is simply a violent attack on a individual or property” (the another supporters were minors).
Mec. Lenkiewicz has no uncertainty that the prosecution's allegations were curiosistic. – Polonia Warszawa Club announced that tickets would be available before the match. These people, or at least the overwhelming majority of them, were just going to the game. They weren't going to commit any crimes.
POLITICAL INTERVIEWER: ‘THE CONFIDENTIAL CONTRIBUTION OF THE EXISTED BIT’
However, before the charges were filed, there were scenes freezing blood in veins, which never occurred in the past of the 3rd Republic.
The most shocking reports were published by the diary “Poland The Times”. The journal's editorial collected respective reports of beating in police stations with keys to testicles and batons all over the body, forcing them to do pushups and squats naked, stripping sleep, drinking and eating.
"I got hit with a baton, and a fewer virtually ran for me. “On the ground, whores...!”, they shouted,” said Agnieszka, a 20-year-old female student of Polish medicine. "They kicked us and beat us in the face, threw us dirty. They said they had yet gotten to us" – Kamil, a 23-year-old student, reported.
Paul of Ożarów, a food technology student at SGGW, was interviewed at the police station at Raginisa Street.
"Police officer told me to take off my shorts and pants. I had to sit naked. He called me fat. Anyone who entered the proceeding got their hands open before they even said anything. They put a baton on the chair and made me sit on it. I signed a message due to the fact that 1 cop said I might be gone in an hour. And so I will be put in jail for 3 months.”
This was confirmed by the statements of police officers to whom journalists of the Polish The Times reached. “The chief told me consecutive away: You gotta force everyone to sign the confession. So I told those kids we'd shut them down if they didn't sign the statement. erstwhile it didn't work, colleagues from the criminal took the delinquent to each other, and there the beating was," said an interviewer from 1 of the commands in Warsaw.
“I didn’t know how to behave myself,” said a police officer from Warsaw. “The Chief said they were bringing the kibboli after the riots, and any quiet children came to my auditions. I couldn't force them to sign those statements. But the charges were already made by the prosecutor.”
JUDGMENT JOHNN: "THE ORGANISATOR OF THIS ACT is simply a PROBLEM"
Journalists besides agreed that the police called their action slang taken from the German Nazi language: “The final solution to the issue of Legion supporters”.
– Among the detainees were both employed workers and entrepreneurs, and even employees of higher-level state administration. Among them was an worker of the Legia Warszawa club, there was even 1 foreigner – says Mr Lenkiewicz. We established that there were besides children of erstwhile PO activists and assistant to 1 of the current ministers. The D.A. ruled them all criminals.
Wiesław Johann, erstwhile justice of the Court of State, says: "There is no uncertainty that everything was much earlier planned and prepared. The work for these events should first of all be borne by the individual who made the decisions and gave the orders. What the police did on 2 September 2008 is simply a crime prosecuted by Polish criminal law.
Legal advisor Jacek Bąbka, president of the Foundation for Law Research, comments: "This action was an incredible, incredible violation of human rights and fundamental freedoms. Power decided to build its popularity in the fight against delusional crime. The question is: where were the defenders of democracy at the time?"
HOW DO I PUT THE SCHETIN IN PRISON?
According to Counselor Bąbka, we have dealt with, among others, a crime of abuse of power or violation of Article 231 of the Criminal Code. But, as Bąbka emphasizes, bringing Grzegorz Schetyna to bear the punishment for his actions is not easy, due to the fact that he would should be proven in management.
What's the evidence and leads on Schetina's management?
Almost after the action, he called a press conference at which he called for a joint fight against hooliganism. At the same conference, the Minister of Justice Zbigniew Ćwiąkalski announced that he would urge prosecutors to stand firm towards hooligans.
Later, erstwhile any media began to uncover the fact about the course of events, both ministers were quiet. However, Schetina's function in the action was confirmed by Donald Tusk at the PO convention on 30 June 2010. “When it was essential to tame for the first time, with the usage of hooligan police on the streets of Warsaw – this decision was made, as you remember, by Grzegorz Schetyna – what did PiS and his boss do? He stood up for the hooligans against the police," he said.
Grzegorz Schetyna did not answer our calls, nor did he respond to the SMS asking to respond to the latest judgments of the courts.
MINISTER BLAZCZAK: THE nonsubjective OF THE POLITICAL MARKETING
Mariusz Błaszczak, the current Home Minister, was 1 of the MPs who intervened in support of supporters in 2008.
“Police activities were not justified, they were utilized for political marketing purposes by Minister Grzegorz Schetyna. In an absolutely scandalous way, innocent people were treated, as the court has now ruled,” he says. “I anticipate the Ombudsman to act on these judgments,” he adds.
The “heroes” of the “Fork Action” are inactive working in the police, many of whom have advanced. Inspector Piotr Owsiewski, who according to our informants commanded the action, is present Deputy Chief of the Capital Police.
We wanted to ask him about his work for those events. The secretary informed us after talking to Owsiewski: "The commander will not give information on this matter.
The “Fork Action” was praised at the time by the spokesperson of the capital police Marcin Szyndler. present is Mr. Chief Police spokesman. erstwhile he heard that we were asking about “The Fork Action”, he decided to send us to his colleague, the spokesperson of Mariusz Sokołowski, whose supporters later sent forks by post.
When we reminded him of his own words, he said that he would respond to the case after proceeding details of the judgments.
In addition to ‘political marketing’, what could lead Schetina? In 2008, the club Legia Warszawa was highly conflicted with its fans. Its owner was ITI, who besides owned TVN. Schetina's intimacy with Walter was not a secret, the media commented on their close relation during the TVN stars' match.
What could the ITI company gain from the police action? First, thanks to the stadium ban, issued so many fans, less throats shouting slogans at the match attacking the ITI boss. Secondly, ITI was curious in creating a favourable climate for the fresh safety Act at mass events, allowing for more effective repression of fans. As we wrote, her informal co-author was Stefan Dziewulski. Dziewulski was erstwhile liable for safety at the stadium in the Legion. He had previously worked for the police, later at the Euro 2012 staff.
‘SECURITISATION REPORT’ RECOGNITIONS: ‘THREE MONSTRUAL BENEFITS’
Michał Szadkowski and Andrzej Olejniczak from “Gazeta Wyborcza” wrote on 4 September 2008 about “the successful action of the Warsaw police, which effectively pacified the kiboli of the Legion”. "741 pacified legion kibols is just a ray of hope. The success of police can rapidly turn into a disaster if bandits avoid punishment" they suggested.
Seven years later, 3 September 2015, Piotr Machajski of the same “GW” has already written about action in a completely different spirit, calling it “monstrual nonsense” and stating that “there is not a single proof in the file (except for the detention protocol), which would indicate that individual was actually active in the fugitive.”
He described how Schetina’s actions had to be handled by the courts: “There was no specified senseless monstrosity in the capital court. The D.A. couldn't charge 688 fans in 1 trial due to the fact that they couldn't run it. So she divided the defendants into ten, 20-man groups. specified indictments, which disagree only in names, were sent by the prosecutor to court by respective dozen. Each was joined by witness statements, especially police. They were close to 650. Each of the indictments was accompanied by papers concerning all detainees. The files so counted 115 volumes each." The judges then “declared that there was no crime in most detainees. They started mass-depriving cases. The prosecutor appealed, the court of higher instance acknowledged him right."
As a result, due to the "procedural economics" of cases which the Warsaw courts were incapable to carry out, they began to go to another cities: Pabianic, Ostrow Mazowiecka, Zambrowa, Sochaczew, Grójc, Skarżyska-Kamienna, Radom, and even Katowice or Poznań. Most didn't end until today.
ACTORS OF ANTIRASISTOWERS
Also in “Gazeta Wyborcza” after years, on 20 November 2015, “The Fork Action” was condemned by anti-racist activists, pointing out that pointless police actions contributed to the radicalisation of political sentiments among supporters. "Legisian fans' march ended with a gigantic police catch for over 700 people... if individual tried to escape, he spent the night wearing pepper sprayed clothing. They took everyone, like, teenagers, girls. People didn't fit in. It's a collective responsibility" – they talked about the action that Tusk, Schetyna and Kuwiąkalski praised.
