General Kiszczak found guilty over Wujek coal mine massacre

The court declared that Kiszczak unnecessarily transferred the responsibility for making choices regarding use of arms to the "lowest level of command". This stands in contrast to a previous court decision back in 1996, when Kiszczak was found not guilt. The prosecuted, was reluctant to comment on the sentence. He only reiterated he was not guilty and said he "expected a different judgment". Kiszczak is likely to appeal against the judgement. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 1) M.K.
