Belarusian government strikes another blow at Poles. On Monday, the trial of the border activist Andrzej Poczobut began, Poles are accused, among others, of rehabilitation of Nazism.
The trial of Andrzej Poczobut, a associate of the board of directors banned by the Minsk authorities of the Union of Poles in Belarus, began almost 2 years after his arrest in March 2021. After a two-time postponement of the trial, Poczobut was put before a regional court in Grodno on 16 January 2023. In the courtroom, the closest prisoners appeared, including Oksana's parents and wife, for whom it was the first chance in over 660 days to see her boy and husband. Conducting the case of a Pole justice Dzmitry Bubienczyk quickly, however, ordered that the trial be conducted behind closed doors. The family's been pushed out of the room.
Andrzej Poczobut is accused of inciting hatred and calling for sanctions and actions to harm Belarus. In the context of inciting hatred, the Belarusian prosecution accuses him of rehabilitating Nazism. From both articles, he is facing up to 12 years in prison. In October 2022 he was listed on the Belarusian list of persons active in terrorist activities.
Indeed wine The border activist consists of writing articles on the Polish independency underground fighting against the Nazi 3rd Reich and the russian Union, together with the puppets installed by him, calling the USSR's attack on Poland 17 September 1939 aggression and describing protests in Belarus. No uncertainty the most crucial of his crime is defending the Polish number persecuted by the Belarusian regime.
The abroad Office has called for the release of Pochobut. The MFA emphasizes that the process of a associate of the Union of Poles in Belarus is politically motivated.
Together with Poczobut in March 2021 Polish border activists were arrested: Andżelika Boris, Anna Paniszewa, Irena Biernacka, Maria Tishkowska. According to media independent Andelika Boris, he may now be under home arrest. Biernacka, Tishkowska and Panisheva managed to leave Belarus. Nationalists, including members of the All-Polish Youth, appealed for intervention by Polish authorities to release Poles.

Unfortunately, we have late witnessed a wave of repression against the Polish minority. I regret to observe attacks on Polish memorial sites and repressions against Polish schools in Belarus, but these are actions of the criminal Belarusian government, not the population of Belarus.
It is worth adding that the day after the beginning of Andrzej Poczobut's trial, the trial of Cichanouska's exile began. A female in addition to treason is accused, among others, of incitement to racial, national and spiritual hatred.
The Belarusian government has long remained hostile to the indwelling east Borders for generations of Poles. Łukaszenko besides showed aggression towards the Polish state erstwhile in 2021 he led to a migration crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border. The introduction of illegal immigrants into the Polish border has been recognised by any commentators as part of the hybrid war.
While the Belarusian vassal Putina tried to flood Poland with Asian and African migrants, the Polish-speaking left and liberals came to him in sukurs. It was a time of increased attacks on the Polish military and Border Guard. The useful idiots of Lukashenko called for their immigrants to be allowed in. erstwhile Svetlana Cichanouska in October 2021 stated that the Polish government's reaction to the blackmail of the Belarusian government could not be to let illegal immigrants in, she was attacked by liberals.
I wonder if the posts of anti-fascists and this time they will side with the Belarusian dictator, against their own countryman. The chochobut was accused by the Belarusian prosecution of favoring Nazism by cultivating the memory of the Cursed Soldiers. It is not hard not to see the analogy with accusations of large-town liberals and their rebellious children of anarchists towards Polish patriots seeking respect for the heroes of the anti-communist underground.
The position of nationalists on the persecution of Poles in Belarus is clear. The Polish Nation is not only Poles surviving within the current borders of the III Republic. We have a work to support our compatriots, who face attacks from the anti-Polish government of Lukashenko. The right of Poles surviving in Kresy to safely cultivate their culture cannot be subject to negotiation and the Polish government must do everything in its power to aid heroes fight for Polishness in the Kresy. specified a hero is no uncertainty Andrzej Pochobut.
