Expanded definition of anti-communist opposition activist

This law broadens the criteria for being recognized as an anti-communist opposition activist. People who were wanted, accused, or convicted of a crime, or repeatedly fined for minor offenses, or subjected to juvenile correctional measures, can now qualify if this was due to their fight for Poland's independence or human rights. This means more citizens may be eligible for the status and related benefits.
Key points
The definition of an anti-communist opposition activist is expanded to include persons who were wanted, accused, or convicted of a crime, or repeatedly punished for minor offenses.
It also includes persons against whom a juvenile or family court ordered correctional or educational measures.
All these situations must result from activities for Poland's independence, sovereignty, or respect for political human rights.
The law takes effect 14 days after its announcement.
