Witam!
I have never asked for money as I always managed to make my own way… day by day… loop by loop…
But something horrible happened to me in October 2011 and I need your help.
I have been charged with the following offences:
1. Wounding with intent;
2. Wounding without intent;
3. Common assault;
4. Possessing a bladed article in a public place (x2).
At the last Court hearing I pleaded not guilty to all of the charges and a trial has been listed for later on this year. I have, of course, instructed lawyers in London to assist me in fighting the charges but for obvious reasons cannot discuss the matter other than to say that I am innocent.
Thank you to those who already donated and helped me to pay my first bills.
I am encouraging you to read below.
Here is a statement:
“Olek arrived in London in October 2011 in order to fulfill a variety of professional engagements; the first of which was to donate a piece of art work to a charitable organization. On October 6th after donating a piece of her art to the charity at a show in London, Olek was involved in an incident with a drunk and aggressive male who behaved reprehensibly.
The incident happened extremely quickly and not knowing anyone in London or able to access her cell phone for numbers she was swept up into the legal system and treated very poorly. This has resulted in very serious charges being leveled against her which she strenuously denies. She has not even had the chance to state her case before a Court and she must await a statutory timetable before she can present her case properly.
She has now been fortunate enough to be referred on to an appropriate lawyer to defend her against these entirely false allegations, but effective legal representation in cases like this comes at a cost. Today, she needs your help to assist her to get through this terrible and unfair ordeal. At the moment she is facing serious charges with a risk of custody if she is not represented properly and able to expose the untruths and falsehoods in the allegations made against her.”
Can you help?
I am at the moment forced to remain in the UK. My new lawyer was able to assist me to finally change my bail conditions and travel to my shows. We were also able to get rid of a curfew…. Oh yeah! For over a month I had to stay home between 8pm – 6am each night and wear a plastic tracking bracelet around my ankle. This was of itself beyond comprehension to me. It was clearly in place simply because I am not a British citizen and did not have access to proper representation.
This is all the more worrying if I can’t continue to finance my current lawyers, as without the support that I am now pleading for, there is the risk of an even bigger injustice.
Stay tuned and read below…
