In addition, 100 incidents of physical violence and 37 cases of unlawful threats were registered. 39 such incidents took place in Poland. Hate crimes against Christians in Poland were reported by the Ordo Iuris Institute (26 reports accepted by the Police), as well as the Vatican (2 accepted reports), the Austrian Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians (8 accepted reports) and the Jehovah’s Witness community (3 accepted reports).</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-top:0cm; margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:8.0pt; margin-left:0cm; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt" xml:lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif">The Ordo Iuris Institute has participated in the process of identifying hate crimes for the fifth time now, reporting incidents involving religious hatred targeting Christians in Poland.
