The Senate of Poland adopted early on Thursday without any amendments the law on the Institute of National Remembrance, which foresees, in particular, punishment for "crimes of Ukrainian nationalists," Polskie Radio has reported.
A report posted on Polskie Radio's website on Thursday, February 1, notes that the Senate supported amendments to the law on the Institute of National Remembrance, which impose fines or imprisonment for up to three years for "sharing responsibility before the Polish people or the state, including for crimes committed by the Third Reich."
The bill was supported by 57 senators, mainly from the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) Party, 23 voted against the document, and two abstained.
The law will come into force after signing by Polish President Andrzej Duda.
