Polish Court Convicts Three Men For Torching Hungarian Center In Ukraine

A court in Krakow has found three Polish men with right-wing, pro-Russian leanings guilty of committing terrorist acts for their roles in firebombing a Hungarian cultural center in western Ukraine last year.

They were convicted on March 23 of torching a Hungarian-funded cultural center in Ukraine’s westernmost Zakarpattya region where more than 100,000 ethnic Hungarians reside.

The mastermind, 29-year-old Michal Prokopowicz, was sentenced to three years in prison.

I do wonder a bit why they tried this in Poland if the crime was in Ukraine. This crime was committed per article, to make Ukraine look bad, as if right-wing zealots did this and the article indicates, it was done per pro-Russian Polish types.
