Zofia Klepacka, an Olympic medalist known for her conservative views and dedication to traditional values, has reported being assaulted outside the Warsaw Uprising Museum. The incident, which she detailed on social media, included disturbing images of her injuries.
Klepacka, who won a bronze medal in windsurfing at the London Olympics, has frequently faced online harassment for her outspoken beliefs. However, this recent event marks a severe escalation.
“Recently, I was beaten outside the Warsaw Uprising Museum by some thugs posing as security guards… I was pushed, insulted, hit twice in the head, and when I fell, another man ran up and sprayed pepper spray directly into my eye and face. All I wanted was to collect invitations for the Warsaw Uprising Commemoration and walk along the sidewalk like a human being,” Klepacka wrote on her social media account.
Concluding her post, she stated, “It’s just the times we live in when a woman has to get beaten up. See you tomorrow, dear veterans.”
