For shortcuts
- Ryszard Cyba, sentenced to life imprisonment for murder at the PiS headquarters in Łódź, was in the Penitentiary Institution in Czarne in the hospital ward for chronically ill because of progressive dementia.
- The director of the Penitentiary Institution in Czarno applied to the court for order to order a break in performing the penalty due to his health. Cyba was directed to research.
- In January, the experts issued a decision in which they excluded the possibility of serving a penalty in a prison and indicated that Cyba requires care and care in the conditions of a social welfare home. The proper MOPS indicated a homeless shelter with 24 -hour medical care as a place of stay. On March 18, Cyba was transported there under the escort of the prison service and the tutor.
- On March 20, the police received a notification from the employee of this hostel that – as Deputy Minister of Justice Maria Ejchart reported – “Cyba refused to take medication and that he would argue.” The police called an ambulance and the man was taken to hospital.
- Ejchart claims that there is no information that he would attack one of his employees during his stay in the Cyba shelter. She explained that neither the homeless shelters nor social welfare homes were supervised by the Ministry of Justice.

A message on this matter also appeared on the website of the Ministry of Justice.
The ministry reported that “The penalty of Ryszard Cyby has been suspended by the District Court in Łódź on March 11, 2025. ” On January 26, 2025, expert psychiatrists issued an opinion that a man suffers from mental disorders that do not promise to heal and even improves, “it was written.
“Psychiatrists have determined that both defective and cognitive disorders can proceed. They also found deep dementia, complete confusion, disturbance of consciousness, delirium, confabulations, and lack of logical contact. All this is a contraindication to serving a prison sentence. The experts excluded the possibility of performing a penalty in a prison and indicated that Cyba requires care and care in the conditions of a care and treatment institution or a social welfare home, “the ministry informed.
The ministry also reported that on March 18, 2025, a dismissal was received from the prison in which Cyba served, from the District Court in Łódź. “The court's decision was final and enforceable, which means that Cyba was immediately taken by the prison service to the homeless shelter with 24 -hour medical care. There he did not want to take medicine and fought – the staff of the shelter called the police. The ambulance took him to a closed department of a psychiatric hospital” – we read.
It was emphasized that “suspension of performing a penalty is not a revocation. Ryszard Cyba is still sentenced to life imprisonment. ”
“The District Court in Łódź is in constant contact with a psychiatric hospital. If the state of Ryszard Cyby improves, the court decides to take the proceedings ex officio and the imprisonment will be performed. This means that it may return to prison” – he added.
President of the Supreme Bar Council: I have not seen such a illegible message for a long time
The communication of the Ministry of Justice was commented on on platform X President of the Supreme Bar Council Przemysław Rosati.
“I have not seen such a illegible message for a long time. Suspending the execution of the penalty? Suspension of the penalty? Suspending the executive proceedings? It is not the same” – he wrote.
“In accordance with the provisions, it is not possible to suspend/execute a lifetime imprisonment. However, it is possible to suspend enforcement proceedings. This message is highly unfortunate and generates a number of doubts unnecessarily,” he said.
