Victims, suspects, accused. Rights of foreigners in criminal proceedings Helsinki Foundation For Human Rights

This publication aims to be your step-by-step practical guide on the procedures that any victim of a crime or suspect in a criminal case faces.

It also tackles subjects important specifically to foreigners, such as your right to an interpreter or being issued with a decision imposing the return obligation (i.e. being forced to leave Poland). It discusses at length offences which, by their nature, are associated with foreign citizens only, such as illegal crossing of the state’s border, irregular stay in Poland, or work without a valid permit.
