The District Court for Warsaw-Śródmieście refused the temporary arrest of Piotr W., stating that although the evidence suggests his involvement, there are no grounds for applying the most severe preventive measure, among other reasons due to his previous clean record. #Prawo #TymczasowyAreszt #Warszawa (translated)

Jack Strong assessed that the judge had no evidential basis to agree to the arrest, and therefore her decision was not an act of heroism. He regarded the very request of the prosecution as absurd, which—he claimed—was a result of telephone pressure from Waldemar Żurek. He added that political pressure can compel a signature or the submission of a request, but it cannot create the missing evidence. According to Strong, the operation, which was supposed to demonstrate Żurek's strength, ended in his disgrace. He also claimed that the prosecutors had mocked him, and Korneluk had previously warned about such a turn of events. He marked the National Prosecutor's Office. #polityka #sprawiedliwość #prokuratura (translated)

Piotr Kusznieruk accused Wielowieyska of accepting the police's version as an established fact and assessing the detained individual before the court's decision. He questioned the legal basis for identifying the man who — as he wrote — was calmly standing at the crosswalk, as well as the attempt to take him aside. He asked whether the refusal to provide personal information justified intervention. Kusznieruk noted that pushing away the officers and fleeing did not exempt the assessment of the legality and proportionality of the force used. He also pointed out the choking of the subdued individual, the vulgarities and threats that — as he wrote — were audible on the recording, and questioned whether such behavior was within the standards of human rights. He added that the court had refused to detain the man, and according to the defense, it concluded that the prosecutor had not even demonstrated a high probability of the alleged act being committed. He characterized this as more than just a routine refusal of detention. He deemed the attribution of a crisis to the detainee based on his behavior as public stigmatization. He also believed that publicly presenting him as an aggressor before the court's decision could be seen as incitement, and that journalists should monitor power, rather than act as its spokesperson. #prawaCzłowieka #Polska #policja (translated)

Marcin Edo rated the actions of Żurek and his collaborators as a failure. He wrote that the prosecutor's office was seeking temporary detention for Piotr W., which — in his opinion — was meant to intimidate the Polish people. He informed that the Warsaw court did not grant the request, and Piotr W. returned home after more than 50 hours since his detention. https://t.co/9pE1drH7UK #Polska #sprawiedliwość #polityka (translated)

Marcin Edo wrote that Piotr W. was called a "knife man" by Donald Tusk and government media. He added that the prosecutor's office lost in court a case regarding a detention request that Judge Anna Kuzaj did not consider. Edo also used offensive terms towards Tusk and the government. #Polska #sąd #prawo (translated)

Janusz Polski wrote that the court's decision to release Piotr from custody was supposed to cause a financial disaster for Telewizja Republika and Tomasz Sakiewicz's organization. He ironically claimed that they could continue to hold fundraisers, send SMS messages, and sell prepared gadgets with Piotr's image, but Tusk had "ruined the whole business." #RepublikaTV #Sakiewicz #Polska (translated)

Piotr Kusznieruk described the court's decision to deny the arrest of Piotr after the protest as a disgrace for the prosecution. He stated that, in his opinion, the lack of high probability of committing a crime meant that the prosecution had not demonstrated the basic premise for applying the arrest. He claimed that Piotr had spent over 50 hours deprived of freedom, and the police conducted a brutal intervention and a request for arrest was submitted without convincing evidence. He noted that the denial of arrest does not mean acquittal, but he considered it a serious signal for the prosecution. He called for the accountability of the police officers and their superiors. #prawo #sprawiedliwość #prokuratura (translated)
