Samoobrona deputy hits the headlines over forging prison passes to see her

son Yesterday, Danuta Hojarska, a Samoobrona member of parliament was dismissed from the position of deputy chairperson of the Sejm's Justice Commission. The decision was taken by a majority of deputies in the commission amid charges made against Hojarska for forging passes to see her son in prison. Her trial, which was supposed to have started last September, has been constantly delayed as Hojarska has failed to appear for court proceedings. Hojarksa declares that she has never received an official summons from the court, while none of the registered post notifications she received - but never had time to collect due to parliamentary obligations - indicated they were from the court. Yesterday the Sejm received a request from the El blag-based court to suspend her immunity as a deputy, so that she could be arrested and stand trial. According to Rzeczpospolita, the majority of political parties are ready to back the request. Meanwhile Hojarska joked saying that she is not afraid of prison and ordered a tailor to make her a prison dress in the colors of the Polish flag - red and white. (Rzecz pospolita, p.
