Two Polish police officers who entered a pro-Solidarity church in Gdansk drunk during a Mass and offended worshipers have been sentenced to more than a year in prison, the official PAP news agency reported.

The officers behaved rudely in St. Brigida’s Roman Catholic church, a center for the banned Solidarity trade union, during the July 22 service and attacked people who tried to evict them, worshipers reported at the time.

One officer was sentenced to 15 months in prison, the other to 14 months.
