Polish model Samuela T. faces 11 charges over pro-Russian posts on X

Charges over social media publications

Polish model Samuela T., who previously ran for the Sejm as a candidate for the far-right Confederation party, has been brought to court. She faces 11 charges related to her activity on the social media platform X. This was reported by the publication "Wot Tak".

Calls for annexation and denazification

According to journalists, in her posts, Samuela T. praised Vladimir Putin and claimed that the Russian Federation's seizure of Ukrainian territory allegedly serves Poland's interests. In one publication, she explicitly wrote: "It is in our interest for His Excellency Vladimir Putin to take over all of Ukraine, carry out denazification, and bring order to the region".

Composition of the indictment

Four counts of the indictment are related to the public endorsement of war. Another charge concerns the endorsement of violence based on political affiliation. Three episodes involve public insults towards Jews, Ukrainians, and Black people.

The remaining charges are based on the public endorsement of the actions of far-right politician Grzegorz Braun. It is worth noting that on 12 December 2023, he extinguished Hanukkah candles with a fire extinguisher during a ceremony in the Polish Sejm.
