Polish President Appeals for Release of Citizen Imprisoned in Congo

Mariusz Majewski, accused of espionage, sentenced to life in Congo; Poland's Andrzej Duda seeks diplomatic resolution.

Mariusz Majewski, a 52-year-old Polish traveler, was detained and sentenced to life in Congo on espionage charges.
Polish President Andrzej Duda has sought intervention from Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi for Majewski's release.
Majewski's family insists he is a traveler, not a spy, and is in poor health.
Polish authorities attribute Majewski's actions to a lack of knowledge of local customs and coincidental circumstances.
Poland lacks a diplomatic mission in Congo, complicating efforts for Majewski's release.
