Three Months Imprisonment for Burning a Puppet of a Jew. „This is a disgraceful sentence, The Judge must resign his post“ | CFCA

Piotr Rybak had burned a puppet symbolizing a Jew in the Wrocław market. His sentence is final and conclusive. In his reasoning for his ruling, judge Robert Zdych emphasized that there is no doubt of the criminal nature of the accused’s act. His verbal and non-verbal behavior points to incitement to hatred on an ethnic basis,“ he said. He also added that „the burning of the puppet was unequivocally targeted against members of the Jewish nation, reminiscent of times during the Second World War, the Holocaust, and the persecution of the Jews, because that’s what members of another nation felt was needed – to select them out. And this pertains to Poland, a country whose people were indeed merited for their „excellence“ for their treatment of Jews during the Second World War“.
