The Justice Ministry is calling for the case against a communist official for the 1983 murder of Grzegorz Przemyk to be re-tried.

If granted, communist functionary Ireneusz K faces life in jail.

As it was a communist crime it cannot expire, Justice Minister Zbigniew Cwiakalski emphasized. He is also keen to know why the prosecutor agreed with the court that the case should be discontinued.

19-year old Przemyk was the son of a well-known freedom movement activist and poet Barbara Sadowska and was celebrating his final exams when he was arrested, taken to the police headquarters and beaten to death.
