Poland Backtracks On A Controversial Holocaust Speech Law

Polish lawmakers voted overwhelmingly to remove prison penalties in a controversial Holocaust law. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki (upper left) looks on as a right-wing lawmaker blocks the podium in a failed effort to obstruct the vote.

Under the law, anyone who accuses the country of complicity in Nazi crimes during World War II could face three years' imprisonment. But lawmakers voted to remove that penalty on Wednesday.
