In cooperation with the Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights, we represented Grażyna Bochenek, former editor at Polish Radio Rzeszów, in proceedings before the Rzeszów Court of Appeal concerning mobbing and her removal from a live radio show for broadcasting a critical statement by a listener about the President of Poland. The district court partially upheld her suit, finding discrimination and infringement of the plaintiff’s personal interests. As a result of an appeal filed by our firm, the regional court found that her claim for additional compensation for mobbing was also warranted. The court also ordered the CEO of Polish Radio Rzeszów to publish apologies on the website of the Rzeszów edition of Gazeta Wyborcza and on the news sites wirtualnemedia.pl and nowiny24.pl. The judgment is legally final.
