Behemoth, etc. frontman/guitarist Adam “Nergal” Darski has been acquitted in his latest ‘offending religious feelings’ case. Nergal was previously found guilty of that anti-blasphemy charge by a Warsaw, Poland court this past February and was facing fines close to $5000 USD. He however refused to accept the guilty plea and contested the charges with the case having since been dismissed after the prosecutor failed to call upon any witnesses.
The charge in question was brought against Nergal after he posted a picture of a foot stepping on a painting of the Virgin Mary on his social media back in September of 2019. He commented of this latest development in the case:
“Case DISMISSED. There’s NOTHING controversial about the jury’s verdict so fuckin’ DEAL with it. AFTER ALL we live in civilized and democratic country… still. Common sense beats the shit out of fundamentalist agenda which means on more step towards Poland remaining a secular state! Moreover, I know it’s like talking to the wall but to all my adversaries: dont’t give me that “do the same with Koran” bullshit coz it’s old and irrelevant. I keep on spamming here coz I simply LOVE polarization between half of u dear followers congratulating me for the battle won and the other half… that would love see me crucifucked 😂🤓😎”
Since initially being found guilty of the charge this past February, Nergal launched this legal defense campaign to fight back against Poland’s anti-blasphemy laws.
