Bolesławiec: the court dismissed the case of "topless cops". "It was an art, not a misdemeanor"
The District Court in Bolesławiec decided that participation in the parade during the Ceramics Festival in the form of "topless cops" was not an offence. The justification indicated the artistic nature of the event and the lack of violation of public morality.
On April 21, the District Court in Bolesławiec discontinued the proceedings against Monika Pacyfka Tichy, accused of an indecent prank during the parade during the Ceramics Festival in 2024. The case concerned participation in the march in the form of "cops" – with a body covered in clay and without the upper part of clothing. We described it in the material: We show boobs in clay that attacked the mayor of Bolesławiec https://istotne.pl/wiadomosc/56859 .
The decision was announced by Judge **Aleksandra Dołharz**, who indicated that the defendant's behavior does not exhaust the elements of a misdemeanor. As she emphasized:
>
The court drew attention to the context of the event, its long-standing tradition and the fact that the participants could expect such a form of communication. The justification also included a reference to the constitutional freedom of artistic creation.
The defendant's defence counsel, **legal counsel Marcin Pawelec-Jakowiecki**, assessed the verdict as extremely important:
>
**Monika Pacyfka Tichy** herself did not hide her satisfaction with the decision. As she said after the decision was announced:
>
**Grażyna Hanaf**, associated with the organization of the event, assessed the court's decision in a similar way:
>
In turn, **Krzysztof Gwizdała** from the istotne.pl http://istotne.pl portal drew attention to the context of the whole case:
>
The case concerned the events of August 16, 2024, when during a parade in the center of Bolesławiec, two participants impersonated clay people – one of the symbols of the Ceramics Festival. During the march, the slogan "We are all made of the same clay" on a rainbow background was also presented.
The court's decision is not final. The parties have seven days to file a complaint with the Regional Court in Jelenia Góra.
