On June 17, members of the Association of Fighting for Independence and the Center for the Prosecution of Communist Criminals, headed by Adam Slomka (second from right), organized the hanging of portraits of victims of communist crimes in the Supreme Court in Warsaw. In the court gallery, photographs of former presidents of the Supreme Court, including criminals of the communist regime, who passed death sentences on representatives of the anti-communist opposition were displayed until recently. The association's numerous protests led to the removal of portraits of communist judges.

The police and the court guard prevented hanging photographs, however, after talking with Adam Slomka, Malgorzata Manowska, the First President of the Supreme Court, undertook by the end of the year to create a gallery of victims of the communist judiciary.
