Interpol prohibits the use of its channels for transmitting data on crimes linked to national security threats, including espionage considered a political crime, she noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Szmydt\u2019s defection to Belarus was reported on May 6. He claimed that he \u201cwas persecuted and threatened for his independent political position\u201d in Poland and was forced to flee because of disagreement with the government\u2019s policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three days later, the Polish Supreme Administrative Court dismissed Szmydt, sanctioning his arrest and prosecution for alleged involvement in foreign intelligence activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In mid-May, the Warsaw District Court ruled without the defendant being present to arrest Szmydt for three months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
