"Democracy," "Truth," "Free Poland" - such demands were placed on the leaflets by a 21-year-old worker from Oświęcim Leszek Wojnar. He made the leaflets himself, cutting the letters out of plastic notebook covers using a roller. He was sentenced to three years in prison for this act on December 21, 1982. One of the judges who signed off on this shameful sentence was Second Lieutenant Jozef Iwulski, formerly an employee of the military security service.
In 1992, as a result of an extraordinary review brought by the president of the Supreme Court, Leszek Wojnar was acquitted. The court found that even under the draconian martial law, he was not guilty of a crime.
According to the Branch Commission for the Prosecution of Crimes against the Polish Nation in Cracow, the decision to illegally imprison a young boy for three years was a communist crime. For this, IPN (Institute of National Remembrance) prosecutors want to charge him.
There is only one obstacle - Jozef Iwulski is today a judge of the Supreme Court and is protected by immunity. Thanks to the support of his fellow judges, he continues to rule.

Суд разрешил привлечение его к ответственности. Он был отстранён от обязанностей судьи, однако принимал участие в каких-то заседаниях в нарушение закона, о чём было заявление в прокуратуру.
