Nergal, the frontman of Behemoth, recently won an appeal against charges of offending religious feelings in Poland for a past social media post where he showcased a penis crucifix. The Polish anti-blasphemy laws were invoked in the case, stemming from a video he posted in 2018 to mark International Women's Day. Despite facing legal challenges and criticism from conservative groups, Darski expressed relief at his acquittal, emphasizing the absurdity of the situation and reinforcing his support for women's rights on the anniversary of the event.
In 2018, on this very day, I posted a silly video on Instagram, singing an old children's song for Women's Day while waving a certain artifact. Hardly high comedy, but was it blasphemous or shocking?
After years in court and tens of thousands zlotis spent on legal defense, I was fully acquitted just days ago. The verdict is a bittersweet victory tho. I'm glad justice prevailed.
