POLAND steps into Canadian murder-by-taser case, Polish prosecutors to get involved [View All]

VANCOUVER - Poland's consul general in Vancouver is so shocked by the video of Robert Dziekanski's death, he has now asked his country's Attorney General to look into the case.

"I asked the Polish prosecutors office to contact directly the Canadian Attorney General in order to establish what happened," Maciej Krych told the Vancouver Sun today, after the video was finally made public.

"After seeing the video, I am still in a state of shock," he said. "I am still rather terrified."

Krych said that before he saw the video, Poland had only written a diplomatic note to Canada "informing about our concern."

Now, he says, he has recommended that Poland use its existing relationships within Canada to monitor the case.

"There is an agreement between our two prosecutors offices," said Krych.

"What I have done is to send this information to the Polish prosecutors and ask them whether they want to investigate this case further," he added.
