Abstract
Pursuant to Article 255a § 1 of the Polish Criminal Code, whoever disseminates or publicly presents content that may facilitate the commission of a terrorist offence with the intent to commit such an offence, shall be subject to the penalty of deprivation of liberty for a term of between 3 months and 5 years. Introduction of this crime to the Polish legal system in 2011 resulted from international agreements binding Poland. Currently, this obligation results from Directive (EU) 2017/541 of the European Parliament and of the Council of
15 March 2017 on combating terrorism and replacing Council Framework Decision 2002/475/JHA and amending Council Decision 2005/671/JHA (Official Journal of the EU.L 2017 No. 88, p. 6 - hereinafter referred to as the 2017 Directive).
