A LEADING Polish anti-fascist campaigner is being sued after warning that a neonazi rock festival in her country promotes “fascist ideas.”
Organisers of the Eagle’s Nest festival are taking Nigdy Wiecej (Never Again) magazine co-editor and Holocaust historian Dr Anna Tatar to court for defamation.
She could face up to a year in jail over her comments on the festival in 2016, when told news site Onet.pl that “fascist ideas are promoted” at the festival and “such events must not take place in Poland.”
