The government has adopted a bill regarding migrants. 20 years in prison for human trafficking

The Polish Ministry of Justice has proposed amendments to the Penal Code, introducing three new types of migrant smuggling offenses with harsher penalties. The changes aim to deter illegal border crossings and enhance public safety. Proposed penalties include up to 20 years for smuggling resulting in death and increased fines for illegal border crossing from 20 to 500 PLN. Additionally, the definition of assault on public officials will be expanded to include actions that directly threaten life. Controversial provisions penalizing humanitarian aid to migrants have been withdrawn following public backlash.
