Our analysis of Poland’s draft anti-SLAPP law is out. 🇵🇱 It includes vital mechanisms. But vague wording could make these protections ineffective in practice. To truly shield those exposing abuse of power, the law must be stronger and decriminalise defamation.

The regime has shown political prisoner Viktar Babaryka for the first time in 1.5 years. During this time, his family didn't know whether he was alive. He was photographed writing a letter to his family. It’s such a relief to see these photos of him.
