Wyspa TV firmly opposes the dissemination of defamatory allegations, the presentation of unproven accusations as facts, and their use to undermine the reputation of Aleksander and Krystyna Komorowski.
We know Mr and Mrs Komorowski personally. They have attended our events on numerous occasions, supported community initiatives, and devoted their time to others. Through our dealings with them, we have come to know them as warm, committed individuals who are willing to help. We will not remain indifferent to information that may unjustifiably damage their dignity and good name.
Aleksander Komorowski has a documented record of professional and community service to Poland and local communities. His honours include the Silver Cross of Merit, the “Distinguished Agricultural Worker” badge, and the “For Services to the Toruń Voivodeship” badge. The documents provided to us also include a certificate of appreciation for his participation in the National Population Census, along with distinctions related to his work with the Polish Tourist and Sightseeing Society (PTTK).
This record deserves accurate representation and respect. It does not replace an assessment of the evidence in any particular case, but it must not be undermined by rumours or unproven accusations.
According to information provided to us during a conversation with a police officer, the report received on 20 October 2026 concerned allegations of unwanted physical contact by Aleksander Komorowski towards women during walks around Liverpool organised by Merseyside Polonia in 2024. We refer to this information as an account of the conversation with the officer, not as a finding that the conduct described took place. Aleksander Komorowski denies the alleged conduct.
The report concerned events alleged to have occurred in 2024, but the police received it in October 2026. We do not know the reasons for this interval; however, the question arises as to why the person making the report recalled the alleged inappropriate conduct after two years. We expect a precise explanation of the chronology and substance of the report, and a clear distinction between allegations and established facts.
According to the letter from Merseyside Police dated 3 November 2026, the matter will not be investigated further, and no further action will be taken. The mere fact that a report was made does not entitle anyone to portray Aleksander Komorowski as a convicted person or to attribute proven guilt to him.
We have received accounts of information being circulated suggesting that Aleksander Komorowski has been convicted. The documents provided to us do not substantiate this information. According to the account given to us, Aleksander Komorowski denies the alleged conduct and links the dispute to questions he asked the Polish community organisation about its operations. This is his position; in return, he received a letter from Merseyside Polonia dated 18 February 2026 concerning the exclusion of Mr and Mrs Komorowski from the organisation’s activities as a form of collective responsibility, since the exclusion also extends to his wife, Krystyna. This does not prohibit participation in Polish community life as a whole, nor is it binding on other independent organisers.
Mr and Mrs Komorowski have the right to have specific statements assessed legally and to pursue claims where the statutory requirements are met.
Aleksander and Krystyna Komorowski have the right to seek protection of their good name before the courts of England and Wales. Where the legal requirements for liability are met, they may bring defamation claims, seek damages, and make appropriate applications to the court.
Section 1 of the Defamation Act 2013 establishes that a statement’s publication must have caused, or be likely to cause, serious harm to reputation. If the conduct amounts to harassment meeting the statutory requirements, sections 1 and 3 of the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 may also apply, providing civil remedies, including the possibility of seeking damages. Any unlawful processing or dissemination of personal data may be subject to separate legal assessment.
Wyspa TV supports Mr and Mrs Komorowski in exercising the legal remedies available to them. To the best of our knowledge and based on the materials in our possession, we are ready to assist in establishing the facts of this matter.
The right to report legitimate concerns must be respected. It does not, however, permit the dissemination of falsehoods or the presentation of a defamatory allegation as proven guilt.
We demand accuracy, the correction of false information, and respect for the dignity of Mr and Mrs Komorowski. Their good name deserves effective protection.
