Hi John,

Elżbieta Podleśna, an LGBTI+ activist in Poland, has just been indicted for ‘offending religious beliefs’.

Her crime? Owning a poster of the Virgin Mary with a rainbow halo.

Elzbieta could face up to two years in prison. She urgently needs your support.

The police raided Elżbieta’s house early in the morning on 6 May 2019.

They arrested her and detained her for several hours, confiscating her electronic equipment, including laptop, phone and memory cards.

There’s no evidence of a crime being committed here, which means Elżbieta has simply been targeted for her peaceful activism.

LGBTI+ rights defenders are facing more and more harassment in Poland. With your help we can fight back.

Elżbieta recently joined us for an inspiring panel discussion on the fight for LGBTI+ rights in Eastern Europe
[link removed] as part of Pride Inside. During this Elżbieta spoke about how much support from Amnesty supporters means to her.

She has stood up against hate and discrimination for many years and is fighting for a just and equal Poland. Will you stand with her?

Please help by emailing the Polish Prosecutor General today.
