Samuel Pereira wrote that this year he won legal cases against Roman Giertych and Ewa Wrzosek. He stated that on March 13, 2026, the District Court upheld his acquittal from Giertych's private prosecution under Article 212, concerning statements made on TVP Info on October 18, 2020, about the Polnord scandal. According to Pereira, Giertych demanded a year's imprisonment and 200,000 PLN in damages, and the costs were imposed on the private prosecutor. Pereira also informed that on October 7, 2026, the District Court in Warsaw definitively acquitted him in the case brought by Wrzosek, delegated to the Ministry of Justice. The case concerned his December 2021 post about the operational activities of the Polish state. Pereira wrote that he did not mention Wrzosek by name, position, or gender. According to him, Wrzosek felt defamed and demanded restrictions on or deprivation of his freedom in her private prosecution. In the first instance, on October 5, 2023, Judge Agnieszka Modzelewska sentenced him to three months of limited freedom and 30 hours of community service per month, and the appeal overturned the verdict. As non-final rulings, Pereira mentioned the verdict from July 19, 2024, in the case of Tomasz Lis. As he wrote, the District Court in Warsaw found Lis's post from November 3, 2023, to be xenophobic and ordered him to apologize to X. Lis announced an appeal, while Pereira claimed he had been waiting for a final judgment for over two years. Pereira also described the case of Ringier Axel Springer Polska (RASP). According to him, on January 12, 2023, the District Court in Warsaw dismissed a lawsuit for protection of personal rights concerning about 27 posts from 2017-2018, which demanded apologies and 100,000 PLN, and imposed the costs on the publisher. RASP filed an appeal in 2023, and the hearing was scheduled for October 28, 2026, in the Court of Appeal in Warsaw, in room 202. Pereira urged recipients to publicize these cases. #prawo #sprawiedliwość #media (translated)
