The article brings the verdict of the District Military Court in Rzeszów to people accused of committing offences against the state from 86 article of the criminal code of the Polish Army closer, namely, an attempt to change the system of the country or remove the organs of the au- thority violently. The very court claimed that proving any connection to the WiN association, including casual social contacts with the association members, was the basis for ascribing the crime to them from the 86 article of the criminal code of the Polish Army and the guilty verdict. The court did not take into account the fact that the activity of some convicts was not connected with the aim to use violence, and proved organizational activity was limited to reading WiN press or taking part in organizational meetings. Strict verdicts of people who were proven even casual contacts with the WiN organization, seem to prove that the court used 86 article of the criminal code of the Polish Army to eliminate political opponents from the society.
