"No one should be persecuted for helping a woman to carry out a safe abortion," says @MalinBjork_EU
"This kind of medieval witch-hunt has no place in Europe in 2023. It is absolutely unacceptable and the EU must react."

Poland has some of the strictest abortion legislation in the EU.
Denying access to abortion is a form of violence against women.
Poland must drop these charges, stop persecuting activists & guarantee the right to free, safe & legal abortion care.
