Gorbachov is asking for protection over general Jaruzelski

Polish politicians feel indignant about the appeal to the President Lech Kaczyński and statement that general Jaruzelski is persecucted in Poland. Gorbachov had nothing to add in case of the martial law.
The former President of ZSRR Michail Gorbachov announced in the interview that in Jerusalem during a conversation with Lech Kaczyński he asked for care over Jaruzelski because the general was ill. "I asked him if you really could not solve the problem of an old, sick man - the general who did so much for Poland", said Gorbachov. " I know that he is very sick. We correspond with each other. And what is happening to him at the moment, these are persecutions, groundless persecutions."
Polish politicians find Gorbachov's appeal as highly insolent. "Nobody is persecuting Jeruzelski. Unless persecutions are called privileges, he makes use of, despite the fact that for tens years he had serviced to foreign superstate and not Poland.", said the deputy of PO (Civic Platform) and former oppositionist Andrzej Czuma and he added that "his comfortable life for the last several years is more like the evidence that Polish nation is arch-merciful."
