Up to 3 years in prison for using Polish death camps term

The government has approved a draft bill that foresees up to three years in prison for using the term"Polish death camps" by domestic and foreign entities, irrespectively of the location, where the act was committed. The amendment to the bill on the Institute of National Remembrance (IPN) says that whoever "publicly and against the facts assigns the Republic of Poland or the Polish nation the liability or responsibility for the Nazi crimes committed by the Third Reich is facing a fine or imprisonment of up to three years." Artistic and scientific expression would be excluded from  legal responsibility. The law is expected to put to a halt the use of expression "Polish death camps," often appearing in international press. The authorities of Poland has been protesting against it as it falsely suggest that Nazi death camps were set up and operated by Poles.
