Cadet in Poland caught in arson

In Warsaw, in one of the dormitories of the Military Technical University, a cadet was injured by the actions of his fellow students. Two future officers doused him with a flammable substance and set him on fire using a lighter. According to reports, the military gendarmerie has taken over the investigation, but no charges have been filed yet, as hazing in the Polish army is considered a 'tradition' protected by silence and impunity.

Context

In the history of the Polish army, the practice of hazing has existed for many years and was not officially kept in the spotlight.
