The tactics of the Polish state have been always based on fitting up Polish anti-fa who have a really hard time in Poland. There is a lot of racism towards Polish and Ukranian, Slovakian, Eastern European basically Roma and also now towards Muslims in Poland. This June the Polsih government expelled Ahmed Amar, a Yemeni Imam and Doctor of Law at Poznan University for being a 'security threat'. He had been lecturing about the role of Poland in occupying Iraq. His expulsion was accompanied by Islamophobic propaganda media coverage which tapped into the already mounting levels of Ismaophobia in Poland. Poland announced its first ever national security alert earlier this year and is seen as a major target for attack due to its Strategic Military relationship with the US plus its buying Israeli weapons and its logistical support for Israel's war against the Palestinian people. Late this November Polish army Chief of Staff, Gen. Czeslaw Piatas is thought to have 'present(ed)lessons his army has learned from its participation in the war in Iraq and in peace keeping forces'  http://washingtontimes.com/upi-breaking/20041128-120533-5667r.htm Polish arms dealer Bumar also signed a $236m arms deal with the Iraqi puppet ministry of defence to supply helicopters, machineguns and ironically Ambulances. Im suprised they didnt include gravestones too  http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2004-12/16/content_2341273.htm

Anyway, the Polish war against Iraq, the repression being wrecked on people there has its paralells too. As with any state at war, it has to police its own population harder to prevent any disobedience against its plans overseas. So much as it stake. Religious and ethnic tensions are deliberately exacerbated and played up to create as much internal fear and ascociation of the victims of a war (muslims in Iraq) as perpetrators, as terrorists, as people to be feared and therefore repressed. We can see it here with the UK government's revival of internment.

The Polish state jailed Tomek Wilkoszewski, a popular and committed anti-fascist in 1996 for defending himself against a fascist attack. This was a political decison to criminalise street resistance and community defence against fascist attacks.

The situation with Patryk follows the same logic. Polish antifa need as much support as possible. The racist attacks of the Polish government and its contribution to the cultivation of fascism in Iraq and Palestine, have an impact on people in Poland and a felt effect on the streets of Poland. The wars Poland is supporting empower the Right within Poland and give rise to divisive and destructive racist and Islamophobic politics there.

No Pasaran!!!

Polish Troops Out of Iraq!
Solidarity with Polish @ntifa!

Well, nice coment. I just would like to add that website about Tomasz Wilkoszewski si not very good one, there are lots of lies in it, trying to portrait his case as one of innocent victim of nazi attacks, whereas Tomek was not a complying victim, but decided to take matters in his own hands and defend himself. On the websirte you can read lots of bullshit stories how he got "rehabilitated" in prison etc. and all the time avoiding any notion of militant anti-fascist resistance to nazi menace in which he as involved in attempt to portray him as poor, innocent student.
If innocent deserv our support, guilty deserve it even more- Tomek should have got medal for killing this nazi scum.
