88 years ago before the District Court in Warsaw ended the so-called.

Brest process. "This judgment should never have happened. Activities for a democratic Poland were presented as threatening our homeland – said psl leader Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz.January 13, 1932, the Brest trial ended before the District Court in Warsaw. 10 repressed for their work to defend democracy in Poland were arrested and then sentenced to prison sentences. In this group were: Vincent Witos, Kazimierz Bagiński, Norbert Barlicki, Adam Ciołkosz, Stanisław Dubois, Władysław Kiernik, Herman Lieberman, Mieczysław Mastek, Adam Pragier and Józef Putek.– This judgment should never collapse. Activities for a democratic Poland were presented as threatening our homeland – assessed psl leader Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz.Vincent Witos and ten Members of the Second Republic were convicted for crimes "against the sovereignty", on the basis of The 1903 Russian Penal Code in force in Poland was intended only to paralyze the activities of opposition parties. The unfoundedness of the allegations made by the sanitation camp to a group of members of the time is already evidenced by the very fact that, after the September defeat, The President of the Republic in exile, Władysław Raczkiewicz, issued a decree on amnesty on 31 October 1939 for Former Brest prisoners.– We want to restore the memory and dignity of Vincent Witos and the right place in our history. The amnesty of 1939 does not solve this problem. In the file is a judgment of Vincent Witos. It cannot be the case that the hero who stopped the Bolsheviks, stopped the ideology of death, is today burdened by the free Republic further sentences – said the leader of the PSL. Although the defendants in the Brest trial included amnesty, no verdicts were deleted. Therefore, the Polish People's Party seeks full restoration of the reverence of Vincent Witos and 9 other convicted people. Already in 2005, the people sought cassation in the Supreme Court. However, the General Prosecutor's Office told them that cassation was not possible because the case file was dismantled. The failure also ended with an attempt to annul the judgment by law. The project was submitted in 2016 by the PSL Club, but the government sent a negative opinion. The amendment to the Law on the Supreme Court, which gives the Ombudsman the right to bring an extraordinary action before the Supreme Court, has brought new possibilities. On 13 May 2019, the People's People's People applied to the Ombudsman to cancel the verdict of the Brest trial. The consequence of the proposal by Witos' ideological successors was an expert seminar, organized at the RPO Office on 2 July 2019 with the participation of Adam Bodnar. The Ombudsman has queryed the library collections, and has made efforts to obtain a trial file.– We do not stop at the request to the RPO, we also ask the Sejm to adopt a resolution on the rehabilitation of those convicted in the Brest trial. Their dignity was subdued, they were heroes. As heirs to the idea, we feel obliged to fight for the good name of our predecessors – said PSL President Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz.
