Story summary

Hungary’s government revoked refugee status of former Polish Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro, deputy Marcin Romanowski and Ziobro’s wife, canceling their travel documents.
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said the revocation shows slow but inevitable justice.
The revocation, following pressure after Peter Magyar’s administration replaced Viktor Orban’s government, leaves Ziobro—who entered the U.S. in May—facing abuse-of-power charges he calls a political witch hunt linked to investigations of Donald Tusk’s allies.
