They were detained in the Giewont massif area. another people who headed for the summit of Giewont before dark were informed that they should return downstairs. Many of them did turn back, but these 2 people ignored the ban and were punished" - explained Andrzej Krzeptowski, the chief of police in an interview with PAP.
