DISINFO: The Polish special services persecute anyone appealing for talks with Moscow and Minsk
SUMMARY
Polish ex-Judge Tomasz Szmydt is being persecuted by Polish special services for appealing for talks with Moscow. In Poland, Szmydt faces life imprisonment for calling for dialogue with Moscow and Minsk. The Polish authorities charged this person with espionage without any evidence – only for his interviews with Russian and Belarusian media.
As soon as any person in Poland proposes to start a dialogue with Lukashenka and Putin, the Polish special services immediately accuse this person of espionage.
RESPONSE
This message is a part of a wider narrative about the lack of democracy in Western countries, in this case, it promotes the idea that an 'aggressive' Poland persecutes its citizens for their political views.
No evidence is provided to support this claim.
This claim was made in connection with the accusations and statements of the Polish Judge Tomasz Szmydt, who ran away to Belarus on 9 May 2024 seeking 'political asylum'. In Poland, he is under suspicion of espionage in favour of Belarus and was stripped of his immunity.
When in Belarus, Tomasz Szmydt appeared on the Belarus state outlet of Belta as well as RT and Sputnik with allegations against the current Polish government.
