Poland To Tighten Blasphemy Laws
A church with an effigy of Maria is seen in Warsaw, Poland on 06 November, 2022. Poland’s legal and business daily Dziennik Gazeta Prawna reported that a proposal for an amendment to the country's penal code would change the wording of Article 196. The amendment to the blasphemy law would read: 'Whoever publicly insults or ridicules the Church or another religious association with regulated legal status, its dogmas and rituals shall be subject to a fine, the penalty of restriction of liberty or the penalty of deprivation of liberty for up to 2 years.' On Friday the Law and Justice controlled government voted to remove parliamentary immunity of two opposition MP's for allegedly offending religious feelings. (Photo by STR/NurPhoto)
