Polish prosecutors are now investigating a “White Lives Matter” graffiti as a hate crime in the city of Rzeszów, with the suspects facing up to three years in prison if they are apprehended and convicted.
Painted on a wall in the Polish city of Rzeszów, the graffiti was reportedly created as a memorial to the murdered British youth Henry Nowak. Authorities painted over the entire wall.
Major Polish news outlet wPolsce24 has reacted with outrage to the investigation stating
"When black people say “Black Lives Matter,” it is a fight for equality. When white people say “White Lives Matter,” it is immediately racist".
"The slogan on the garages in Rzeszów was not an expression of hatred. There was a voice reminding us that white lives matters too"
A group labeled “Narodowy Rzeszów” allegedly posted a video of themselves standing next to the graffiti, it referred to violence against Whites in Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Social media platforms took the video down. 🤬
