Prison for using a phrase

jeudi 13 octobre 2016 à 02:00

Poland proposes a punishment of years in prison for using the phrase "Polish death camps".

I sympathize with the Polish government's wish to correct the error. Those Nazi death camps were located in Poland, but they were not Polish. However, this method won't be very effective against foreign media outlets, and meanwhile it violates human rights.

I wonder if quoting or describing this law in Poland, supposing it is adopted, would be a violation of the same law.
