Add article description


Wolnosc i Sprawiedliwosc (English: Freedom and Justice, WiS) was a Polish oppositional, anti-Communist underground organization, formed in Bialystock in the late 1940s. Its creators were members of Wolnosc i Niezawislosc (WiN), who opposed disclosure on Communist terms under the amnesty law of 22 February 1947.[1][2][3]

Proponents of forming the Freedom and Justice organization in an effort to undermine the purported amnesty included Franciszek Potyrała "Oracz", the Białystok inspector of WiN, who was executed in April 1947, and Captain Kazimierz Kamieński "Huzar", who was later sentenced to the death penalty and executed on 11 October 1953.[1][2]
