About Sylwester Zych
- Sylwester Zych (May 19, 1950 in Ostrówek – July 11, 1989) was a Polish Catholic priest. He was born in Ostrówek, and lived in Lipinki.
- Later he attended school in Duczki and Zielonka.
- Zych took part in various resistance activities, among them, serving as a secret courier for right wing political organisation KPN.
- As a part of many Communist-orchestrated political trials of this period, in 1982 he was charged with attempting to overthrow Polish political system.
- After being accused and sentenced for his alleged involvement in the Zdzislaw Karos case, between 1982-1986, he was imprisoned by the Communist regime. The body of Sylwester Zych was found at night on July 11, 1989, at a bus stop in Krynica Morska.
- The circumstances surrounding the deaths of three Polish priests (Sylwester Zych, Stefan Niedzielak, and Stanislaw Suchowolec) were later investigated by a Senate commission composed of Zbigniew Romaszewski (chairman) and Alicja Grzeskowiak (vice chairman).
- The investigation concluded that "there was criminal activity aimed at priests".
- The commission also suggested Polish secret police, the Sluzba Bezpieczenstwa, involvement in these crimes.
- Reverend Zych was laid to rest in Kobylka. He was posthumously decorated with a Gold Cross of Merit with Swords (by the last Polish President in exile-Ryszard Kaczorowski) and the Commander's Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta (by the late President Lech Kaczynski)
