Head of the Open Dialogue Foundation can return to Poland
Ludmiła Kozłowska, head of the Open Dialogue Foundation, can now return to Poland after being removed from the list of individuals banned from entering the country.

The legal battle, which began in 2017, saw Kozłowska winning multiple court cases, with the courts deeming the ban baseless.

Police massively pursued activists who commemorated Covid-19 victims. Now they are losing in courts
Activists from the Lotna Brygada Opozycji and their associates faced over a hundred legal cases for commemorating the tens of thousands of Covid-19 victims in Poland by laying flowers, drawing crosses, and lighting candles. The police accused them of 'littering' among other charges. However, the activists are now winning these cases in court. The article compares the situation to the treatment of Russians who tried to honor the late opposition figure, Alexei Navalny. The police's actions included detaining activists, confiscating materials, and issuing fines. Despite the numerous cases filed by the Warsaw Police Headquarters, almost all activists contacted have won their cases, with the exception of Katarzyna Augustynek, who did not appeal one of her cases. The court rulings have been overwhelmingly against the police, questioning the justification of their actions and the waste of judicial resources.
