Stefan Michnik

Stefan Michnik (28 September 1929 – 27 July 2021) was a military judge of the Soviet-dominated regime in post-World War II Poland, and a captain in the communist Polish People’s Army. He was involved in the politically-motivated arrest, trial, imprisonment and/or execution of a number of Polish anti-communist fighters and activists. Many of those persecuted by Michnik also fought against Nazi Germany during World War II, as members of the Polish resistance.
After de-stalinization, Michnik went into exile in 1968, and had lived in Storvreta, Sweden.
After the collapse of communism in Poland (1989), Michnik was formally implicated by the Polish justice system in communist crimes relating to his tenure as a military judge.
