REDWATCH POLAND BUSTED!

Polish police arrest man suspected of co-authoring a far-right Web site

(AP) - WARSAW, Poland - Police have arrested a second man suspected of helping run the Web site of a banned extreme right group espousing Nazi ideology, a police spokeswoman said Monday.

The man, identified under Poland’s privacy law only as 21-year-old Bartosz B., from the northern city of Slupsk, faces charges of disseminating Nazi ideas, xenophobia and participation in an illegal group, spokeswoman Beata Tobiasz said.

Police suspect he translated Polish texts into English for the international “Redwatch” Web site, allied with the far-right Blood and Honor [bonehead gang], and helped the managers keep in touch with its administrators [DreamHost] in the United States.

He was detained on Friday and can be held for two months as the charges are investigated further. If convicted, he could face up to five years in prison.

Prime Minister Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz said Monday he hopes that police actions will prevent any kind of dissemination of Nazi ideology in Poland.

Poland lost [sic] 6 million citizens, half of them Jews, under Nazi occupation during World War II.

Last week, police arrested a man suspected of being the Polish administrator of the Web site.

The arrests came after a woman told the police that her name and picture are on a list of “antifascists” posted on the Redwatch Web site[?] Redwatch is an international far-right group based in Britain. [Redwatch is a project of Blood and Honour — an international gang of boneheads.] Its Web site posts names, photos and addresses of human rights activists, gays and left-wing journalists under the slogan: “Remember places, traitors’ faces, they all pay for their crimes.”

Last month, a man on the same list was stabbed in the back and seriously wounded in Warsaw.

In reaction, Poland has asked the U.S. government to help it shut down [DreamHost] the American-based server hosting the Web site.

I have a few dreamhost accounts and when I read this on infoshop I emailed them and asked them to take it down. They said they couldn't translate it and all. Glad the authorities finally stepped up.
