On 2 September 1922, the clergy, Władisław Dworżecki, Feliks Lubczyński, Antoni Niedzielski, Walerian Szymanski and Ryszard Szyszko-Bohusz were sentenced to death by the Soviet Revolutionary Tribunal in Kamianets-Podilskyi for opposing the confiscation of church property and treason. The sentence was later changed into a prison sentence, from which the convicted priests were bought back by the faithful.
