The demonstrations over the weekend came followed the re-election of President Andrzej Duda, who campaigned on a strong anti-LGBTQ platform.
WARSAW, Poland — Demonstrators turned out in Warsaw and other Polish cities Saturday to protest anti-LGBT attitudes promoted by the government as well as the detention of pro-LGBT protesters.
“The police were aggressively pushing the protesters out of the way, knocking people to the ground and holding them down with their boots,” the group said. Szutowicz was put in pre-trial detention for two months for acts of civil disobedience, including using a knife to cut the tires of a van that drives around broadcasting anti-LGBT messages, including a claim that “homosexuals are preparing society to accept pedophilia.”She belongs to a group called Stop Bzdurom , which has been putting rainbow flags and anarchist symbols on Warsaw statues, including one of Jesus, infuriating the conservative government.
Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro defended the police behavior as appropriate. He accused opposition politicians who are defending the LGBT protesters of supporting “banditry.”
