An Argentine newspaper has become the first outlet to be targeted by Poland's new Holocaust law, after a nationalist group filed a case yesterday just hours after the legislation took effect, the Times of Israel website reports today (March 3, 2018).
The new legislation calls for prison terms of up to three years for attributing the crimes of Nazi Germany to Poland.
Yesterday, the Polish League Against Defamation lodged a case under the new law against the website of Pagina 12, a newspaper in Argentina.
The Polish League said the paper had used a picture of anti-Communist Polish resistance fighters from after World War II in an article about a 1941 massacre of more than 300 Jews by their Polish neighbors during the Nazi occupation.
