Krzysztof Wąsowski, the defense attorney for Father Michał Olszewski, argued today that the court was taking too long to justify the decision to extend the priest’s detention. This has a serious impact on the health of the priest and two clerks held in pre-trial detention. Today the court will consider the defense attorneys’ complaint against Father Olszewski’s detention. Defense attorneys will speak in court about the torture to which the creator of “Prophet” was subjected.

It is easy to see that Father Michał Olszewski has lost a lot of weight. We will present this evidence in court (regarding the torture to which the priest was allegedly subjected – ed.) to question witnesses. The 9th day has already passed and there is no justification for prolonging the detention. Every day for these people means a great loss of health and a part of their life. Such indifference on the part of the court? We are powerless, without justification we have no way to appeal this decision.
– lawyer Olszewski admitted in conversation with a reporter from wPolsce24 television.
Mec. Wąsowski thus referred to the shocking situation in which the defence cannot appeal the decision to extend the detention because Judge Magdalena Wójcik, known for her sympathies for the highly politicised association “Iustitia”, did not prepare an adequate justification for her controversial decision.
