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.

"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."
