Kamila M., an activist associated with the 'Hajnówka Five', is now facing new charges for allegedly facilitating the smuggling of migrants. This development comes as part of an ongoing investigation led by the Organized Crime and Corruption Department in Lublin, which has been scrutinizing her involvement in aiding foreign nationals, particularly focusing on communications gathered from her mobile phone that may serve as crucial evidence.

The 'Hajnówka Five' gained notoriety for their humanitarian efforts to assist migrants, particularly an Iraqi family with seven children and an Egyptian man, who illegally crossed the Polish-Belarusian border four years ago. Their previous acquittal on humanitarian grounds back in September 2025 highlighted the tension surrounding the criminalization of humanitarian actions in Poland, a matter that has sparked extensive public debate and criticism from various humanitarian organizations and legal bodies such as the Polish Bar Council.

As the investigation unfolds, the implications for activists involved in humanitarian work are significant. The case not only raises concerns over the legal landscape for those aiding migrants but also reflects broader issues regarding Poland's immigration policies and the treatment of refugees. The responses from civil society organizations and the legal community indicate a potential shift in the narrative surrounding humanitarian aid, which may influence future legal actions and societal perceptions of similar cases.
