Prosecutors Appeal Acquittal of Soldier Who Fired 12 Shots at Belarus Border

The Warsaw District Prosecutor's Office has appealed the acquittal of soldier Karol S., who fired 12 shots from his service weapon at the Polish-Belarusian border in March 2024. The Military Garrison Court in Lublin ruled in late May that the soldier had not exceeded his authority. The prosecution's appeal keeps the legally and politically sensitive border case alive.
