Pregnant Polish Mother Convicted and Fined for Speaking Out Against Mass Immigration — Court Rejected Prosecution’s “Biased” Expert Report but Found Her Guilty Anyway

A 21-year-old university student, young mother, and pregnant woman has been convicted in Poland for the “crime” of speaking the truth about mass immigration.

On July 16, 2026, the District Court in Zamość found Oliwia Olejniczak guilty of “inciting hatred” and slapped her with a 3,000 PLN fine (roughly $800–$1,000) for remarks she made at a completely legal and peaceful “Stop Immigration” rally on July 19, 2025. She was pregnant with her second child at the time of the verdict.

Her husband, Adam Olejniczak, reached out to The Gateway Pundit with the details of this outrageous free-speech persecution under Donald Tusk’s left-liberal government.

Oliwia, a top physiotherapy student and mother of a one-year-old, took the stage in Zamość, one of roughly a hundred similar demonstrations held across Poland that day, and voiced the fears shared by countless ordinary Poles.

She spoke about the real risks of uncontrolled mass immigration from incompatible cultures: rising crime, violence, and rape already plaguing Western Europe.

There was no call to violence and no incitement to hatred — only a mother’s public warning about real risks. Yet the court convicted her. In its reasoning the court even treated slogans such as “A Pole is the host in Poland,” “That could have been me,” or “Down with immigration” as racism, incitement to hatred, and psychological manipulation intended to frighten people. This is absurd.

Official statistics from Western Europe clearly show that certain groups of immigrants commit far more crimes per capita than the native population. Pointing out these facts is not hatred — it is reality.

The double standard is glaring: while my wife was swiftly investigated and punished for her words, the Venezuelan murderer still has not received a final sentence more than a year later.

The court imposed this financial penalty knowing our circumstances. We are both full-time physiotherapy students at the university, raising a small child and relying on academic scholarships.

My wife is currently the top physiotherapy student at the entire university; I am second. We work hard because we want to help people through our future profession.

Last year my wife was one of the main organizers of a large charity event that helped a hundred children from orphanages in our region. She also organized the local March for Life and Family. She is a person with an angelic heart — yet the court treated her as if she were some kind of beast inciting hatred.

In addition to the 3,000 PLN fine, the prosecution had demanded 10 months of restriction of liberty for my pregnant wife! This demand alone is an unimaginable absurdity. They also commissioned a linguistic expert opinion that cost approximately 5,000 PLN (about $1,300).

That expert produced an extremely left-wing, politicized report that went far beyond linguistics and even urged the authorities to punish such statements harshly so Poland would not become “anti-democratic, dangerous and backward.”

The court itself completely rejected this opinion as incomplete, non-objective and biased — so we were spared being burdened with those extra thousands of zlotys. Despite discarding the expert’s report, however, the court still adopted essentially the same narrative that the far-left expert had pushed.

Altogether we were looking at a potential cost of around 8,000 PLN (roughly $2,100) plus the threat of 10 months of restricted freedom.

The conviction has no legal foundation under Polish free-speech protections or the European Convention on Human Rights. Ordo Iuris, the respected Christian-conservative legal institute that defends civil liberties, is representing Oliwia and has already announced an appeal demanding full acquittal.
