The activist believes that she could be persecuted because of her attitude towards the PIS government.
Ukrainian activist Lyudmila Kozlovskaya, head of the Foundation Open Dialogue and the wife of Polish activist Bartosz Kramek were again allowed to enter Poland. The ban lasted more than five years.
The Polish publication Onet writes about this.
The Warsaw Voivodeship Administrative Court on December 13 last year ordered the head of the Office for Foreigners (UDSC) to immediately remove Lyudmila Kozlovskaya from the list of undesirable persons in Poland and other Schengen countries. The verdict is not final.
Lyudmila Kozlovskaya, head of the Open Dialog Foundation, was included in the list of undesirable persons in Poland in 2018.
“In 2018, after many years, I was expelled from Poland at the personal request of Mariusz Kaminski and Maciej Wonsik, who controlled the Polish services,” Kozłowska commented in an interview with Onet.
She attributes her appearance on the list to the call “Let the state stand: close the government!”, published a year earlier on social networks by his husband, also an activist, Bartosz Kramek.
According to the authorities, the call should, among other things, contain a call for bloodshed, although there was not a word about this in it. It concerned the reform of the judicial system and referred to the experience of the Ukrainian Maidan, as well as “how to stop the Law and Justice party’s attack on the rule of law in Poland.”
At that time, an audit was launched at the Open Dialog Foundation, by order of former Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski. The inspection was carried out by the Customs and Fiscal Office in Lodz, where the minister's brother Tomasz Waszczykowski headed one of the departments.
“Officials have explicitly acknowledged that the Fund's funding has been used in its entirety to fulfill its statutory human rights objectives,” the report said.
In addition to Foundation inspections in recent years, among other things, there has also been the detention of Bartosz Kramek by the Internal Security Agency.
Now that the court has decided to remove her from the list of undesirable persons, Lyudmila Kozlovskaya hopes that change will come with the new government.
