We publish the full text of the Statement:
Archbishop Stanisław Gądecki, President of the Polish Bishops' Conference, received today from the wives of Mr. Mariusz Kamiński and Mr. Maciej Wąsik, who are in prison, a letter requesting mediation in their case with the Minister of Justice.
Accordingly, the President of the Polish Episcopate sent a letter to both imprisoned with the proposal that, if accepted by them, he would undertake to make a humanitarian intervention in their case with the Minister of Justice, Mr. Adam Bodnar. At the same time, assuring both men that he understood the reason for undertaking such a dramatic form of protest, he asked them to cease the hunger protest which, after so many days since it began, threatens not only their health but also their lives.
