The debate surrounding the death of 18-year-old Henry Nowak in the United Kingdom continues to generate political commentary, including in Poland. Commentator Michał Jelonek has drawn attention to the mechanisms behind police training programs, noting that similar anti-discrimination guidelines were also developed for the Polish Police. In a social media post, he recalled that Jolanta Lange, formerly known as Jolanta Gontarczyk, who was registered during the communist era as a secret collaborator of the Security Service (SB) under the codename “Panna,” was allegedly involved in preparing some of these materials.
The case of 18-year-old Henry Nowak’s death in Southampton continues to provoke strong emotions across the United Kingdom. The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) is currently investigating the actions of officers who, upon arriving at the scene, detained the injured student instead of providing him with assistance.
Michał Jelonek addressed the issue on social media. In his view, the tragedy is not merely the result of mistakes made by individual officers, but also a consequence of the way law enforcement personnel are trained.
“The case of Henry Nowak’s killing and the British police’s contribution to this tragedy is the result of systemic mechanisms within the services, trained by left-wing, or even far-left, ideologues whose manuals are used by the police,” he wrote.
The commentator pointed out that similar training materials had also been developed in Poland.
“In 2009 and 2013, analogous manuals were prepared for the Police. Who was responsible for creating these ‘aids’ for officers?” he asked.
