Patryk Cichoń, an antifascist from Stalowa Wola (south-eastern Poland) and an animator of the RASH (Red & Anarchist Skinheads) group there was convicted to three years in jail for alleged beating and robbery.

None the less, we know that in fact, this case is based on the political circumstances. Patryk is well known in the Stalowa Wola's nazi's environment and many times he was forced to the confrontation with them. Boneheads succeded to persuade friend of them to identify Patryk and his comrade as the perpretators of beating and robbery. Fortunately Patryk's comrade had a good alibi but it didn't help a Patryk who was convicted. According to the court, Patryk alone like some Superman succeded to beat four people (!) and even to take their pocket-books out of them!

Patryk appealed and it will be considered in the january. Except that he has to pay a fine 1 200zł (about 300 EUR, minimal wage in Poland is 201 EUR) for an earlier case. We can't exert an influence on the court but we can at least help Patryk to pay his fine. We call all people to show their solidarity to our friend and comrade, person who has a courage to oppose nazi bastards.
