Czech fugitive Tomáš Čermák detained in Poland

Polish police officers have detained the Czech fugitive Tomáš Čermák, who was convicted in July of supporting and promoting terrorism and sentenced to 5.5 years in prison. Čermak was reportedly hiding in the Lublin province in the east of the country. He will be handed over to the Czech authorities in the coming days. Čermak was the first person in Czechia to be convicted of promoting terrorism after inciting violence against politicians during the pandemic and spreading hate speech against Ukrainians on social networks.
