A man who baked a Jewish portrait was sentenced to 10 months imprisonment 21/11/2016
Piotr R. (name withheld under Polish privacy laws) was found guilty of inciting hatred on grounds of ethnicity by burning an effigy symbolising a Jew at the market square in the city of Wrocław during an anti-immigration rally last year.
Judge Marek Górny said that: “The ruling is harsh, because it was an act of serious social harm […] The penalty must be proportionate to the action”.
Following the incident in November last year, when a group of nationalists burnt the effigy of a Hasidic Jew dressed in traditional clothing, peot (side curls) and cap, chief Rabbi in Poland, Michael Schudrich, told the Jerusalem Post that: “Hatred for migrants comes from the same place as the classic hatred for Jews.”

NATO commences military training in Poland 21/11/2016
NATO’s Multinational Corps Northeast on Monday starts military exercises in Poland codenamed “Compact Eagle 16”, as the force prepares to step up its combat readiness.
The exercises will be held in Szczecin, north-western Poland, with over 500 soldiers taking part.
The manoeuvres will “allow the NATO Corps to achieve high combat readiness, which means shortening its reaction time,” said Major Zbigniew Garbacz of the Corps command.
The Multinational Corps Northeast was created in 1999 and is commanded by Polish, German and Dutch officers.
Soldiers from 25 different countries are now stationed in Szczecin, including troops from Finland and Sweden, which are not NATO members.
