[5] On 6 March 2007 newspaper Rzeczpospolita published an article on Simon Mol (Na tropie oszusta Simona Mola by Bertold Kittel and Maja Narbutt in co-operation with Anna Machowska from TVN), stating that his biography was fabricated.
An editor of the Cameroonian English language weekly The Sketch denied that Njie worked there; his mother said he was employed at a refinery, didn't write about government corruption in Cameroon, and was not jailed in 1996.
In Poland Simon Mol wrote poems, founded a small theatre, and engaged in political campaigns for the rights of mostly African and Chechen refugees, anti-racism, anti-fascism and environmental protection.
[10] He became a journalist of The Warsaw Voice, the secretary general of Association of Refugees in the Republic of Poland, the chief editor of "The Voice of the Refugees" ("Głos Uchodźców")[11] In 2005 he organized a conference with Black ambassadors in Poland to protest the claims in an article in Wiedza i Życie by Adam Leszczyński about AIDS problems in Africa, which quoted research stating that the majority of African women were unable to persuade their HIV positive husbands to wear condoms, and so later contracted HIV themselves.
What some of these hastily compiled volumes have succeeded in breeding, is a social and psychological conviction that every African walking the street here is supposedly HIV positive, and woe betide anyone who dares to unravel the myth being put in place.
[23] MediaWatch, a body that monitors alleged racism, quickly denounced this decision, asserting that it was a breach of ethics with racist implications, as the picture had been published before any court verdict.
The study, conducted before Mol's death, showed that the number of articles were comparable with Polish coverage of the London bombings of July 2005; urban riots in France in autumn 2005; and Danish cartoons affair.
[31] After police published Mol's photo and an alert before the start of court proceedings, Warsaw HIV testing centers were "invaded by young women".
A record number of HIV virus cases were detected in Mazovia and Poland as a whole in January 2007 due to large amounts of testing caused by the panic.
[33] Despite concerns voiced by UNHCR in April 2007, plans for HIV testing of all asylum seekers were fully introduced in Poland shortly after Mol's well-publicised trial.
[36] In 2004, on behalf of the President of Poland, he was nominated for the Sergio Vieira de Mello Prize, alongside the ex-PM Tadeusz Mazowiecki and other Polish luminaries, for "rebuilding peace in post-conflict communities", under the patronage of the High Commissioner of the United Nations for Refugees, among other institutions.
