  1. Statut de Oddtail (oddtail@meow.social) sur Saturday, 08-Aug-2020 11:44:08 CEST Oddtail Oddtail

    Please fucking boost this as far as possible. Please, PLEASE.

    A Polish trans activist named Margot was arrested. Her "crime" is minor destruction of property (she cut up a tarp on a truck covered with vicious anti-LGBT propaganda).

    Her pre-emptive arrest for two months was authorized by a court, despite the fact that such arrest, by Polish law, are meant to be used for people who are a flight risk or an immediate danger to others.

    But wait, there's more.

      Margot did not resist arrest, but police at the time were not interested in arresting her. Wouldn't be impressive enough.

      She was arrested at a later date, and a bunch of activists and LGBT people physically blocked the arrest. Around 40 people were arrested, including random bystanders.

      Let me be clear - the protesters were surrounded by police and then ordered to disperse (how?!).

      But wait, there's more.

      The arrested were driven to random police stations all over the country, without being informed where they're being taken and without being given a reason for their arrests.

      Lawyers have mentioned on social media that they were not given access to the arrested people. In some cases for over 5 hours. It took a lot of patience and interventions from members of the Polish parliament (from what I know, from the left-wing Razem party).

      And yes, there's more.

      There are reports of people being brutally beaten up by the police. This is clearly a shameless attempt at intimidation.

      LGBT rights in Poland were never that great, but this is on an entirely different level. I have no reason to believe things will not escalate further. The right-wing government wants to score points with the more extreme parts of its electorate, and is using police as a cudgel.

      Poland is simply not safe for LGBT ppl at the moment.

      I tend to have a less extreme negative view of police than most leftists I see online, but if you ever needed more proof that ACAB, there you go.

      I honestly never thought things would go so far. And I'm genuinely afraid the police are just getting warmed up.

      The only thing that can keep Poland relatively safe is if as many ppl as possible know about this abroad.

      So again - please boost, please talk about this to your friends as well as your politicians.

      Oh, and I when I thought what I've already written was "enough" - apparently later, when people showed up to protest at police stations, they were again randomly arrested. Again, for no stated reason.

      The right to protest is guaranteed by the Constitution of Poland.

      If you wanna help, Kampania Przeciwko Homofobii is, I think, a good start. Here's their donation page:

      https://wspieraj.kph.org.pl

      (site's in PL, but: "Wspieram" is the button to donate, the header "Wsparcie ogĂłlne" means "general support".)
