In August 2018, a Bellingcat investigation revealed that #ESA had been training a number of individuals from #Ukraine’s far right. In the course of reporting that investigation, representatives of ESA told Bellingcat and Polish #media outlets that they carefully checked all applicants’ backgrounds and would not train individuals with links to the #far-right.
Although experts told Bellingcat that the men featured in this investigation did nothing illegal by attending the ESA training sessions, these photos of Jastrząb and Marek B. call ESA’s earlier statement into question. They show that, after making these promises, ESA did it again — and not with a foreign white supremacist, but with at least two from their own country, on at least four occasions.
This case also raises questions as to whether far-right figures, including #neo-Nazis with alleged criminal connections and histories of #violence, have been able to access similar training at ESA and other #security academies worldwide.

#GDANSK, #Poland — #Solidarity, the independent Polish trade union that four decades ago started an avalanche of dissent that swept away #Communism, has more modest ambitions these days. For a start, it wants its plywood boards back.
