The film has been launched in 7 language versions - Polish, English, French, Spanish, German, Russian and Hebrew.
“This gives rise to a question about the limits of freedom,” Jarosław Szarek, Ph.D., the President of the Institute of National Remembrance commented on the last instance of blocking in his interview for the Polish Radio.
He remarked that this had not been the first such decision by Facebook with regard to the materials of the Institute of National Remembrance. “Such decisions are difficult to explain, they are against freedom of speech. Those were finally withdrawn, and it was the case this time. I hope that there will be no such situation in the future. Otherwise, we will react strongly. We will never consent to censorship, ” he added.
