On Wednesday, it became clear why Mierzewski had been sacked. Because he was preparing charges against the politicians who had partnered with the CIA.

****Polish state prosecutors are considering bringing charges against members of the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) for their alleged involvement in secret CIA prisons located on Polish soil between 2002-2005. The prisons were allegedly used to torture terrorist suspects from al-Qaeda.
