The OSCE report on hate crimes includes reports of physical assaults and murders. The publication also indicates that graffiti and vandalism against places of worship, desecration of cemeteries and arson of churches are among the most common types of crimes motivated by prejudice against Christians.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The report also takes into account hate crimes committed in Poland, including, among others, physical attacks on clergy reported by the Ordo Iuris Institute. One incident involved a man who attacked a vicarage in Dolice at night. The perpetrator destroyed the gates, entrance doors, thermal insulation and facades of the vicarage building. Death threats were directed towards the priests. An equally dangerous situation occurred in a church in Zabrze, when the celebration of evening Mass was disrupted. During the Eucharist in progress there, two men entered the church. One of them set off a firecracker in front of the altar in the presence of the priest and praying worshippers. The report also describes an attack by a man armed with a knife on the bishop's driver during an official canonical visit to Myślenice. The attacker dealt the driver several blows with a sharp instrument and then fled the scene. The injured man was transported to hospital in serious condition.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The report shows that in 2022, there were 8106 hate crime incidents targeting individuals and institutions in 46 countries in Europe. This compares to 6391 crimes in 2021, an increase of almost 27%. In 2022, 852 hate crimes were committed against Christians. This compares to 775 acts in 2021, a noticeable increase of almost 10%.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">In the case of Poland, the OSCE reports that official police statistics show that 1180 hate crimes were reported in 2022. This compares to 991 reported crimes in 2021, an increase of 18%. In addition to police statistics, the report takes into account crimes reported by NGOs. Moreover, the recent underreporting of hate crimes can also be observed due to a worrying trend indicating the indifference of Polish society to statements and behaviour that offend Christians, including from politicians or media representatives. The authors of the report also found that in Poland, despite the July 2022 amendment of the Penal Code, as well as training courses organised by the National School of Judiciary and Public Prosecution for representatives of the judiciary, it is still difficult for individuals to distinguish between hate crimes and other crimes. Therefore, according to the OSCE, there is a need for further training of police officers and prosecutors in this area.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The Ordo Iuris Institute has been conducting a programme of monitoring hate crime cases in Poland since 2015. In May 2023, the Institute submitted a report to the OSCE listing 77 cases of religiously motivated aggression against Christians in Poland. In addition, the Centre for Religious Freedom was established in 2018 with the aim of collecting information on cases of religious freedom violations as well as legal intervention.</p> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--body--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: x field--node--field-kategoria--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--node--field-kategoria.html.twig * field--node--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--field-kategoria.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--field-kategoria--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> Kategoria } <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--field-kategoria--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: x field--node--field-zdjecie--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--node--field-zdjecie.html.twig * field--node--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--field-zdjecie.html.twig * field--image.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--field-zdjecie--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'image_formatter' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * image-formatter--node--aktualnosc--field-zdjecie.html.twig x image-formatter.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image-formatter.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'image_style' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image-style.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'image' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image.html.twig' --> <img src="/sites/default/files/styles/artykul_full/public/2023-11/AdobeStock_433069019%20%281%29.jpeg?itok=7bkAIWCw" width="250" height="125" alt="" typeof="foaf:Image" /> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image.html.twig' --> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image-style.html.twig' --> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image-formatter.html.twig' --> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--field-zdjecie--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-zrodlo-zdjecia--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--node--field-zrodlo-zdjecia.html.twig * field--node--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--field-zrodlo-zdjecia.html.twig * field--string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <div>Adobe Stock</div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-tagi--aktualnosc.html.twig x field--node--field-tagi.html.twig * field--node--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--field-tagi.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/page_node/field--node--field-tagi.html.twig' --> <hr> <ul class="tags_list"> <li class="label label-ordo2"><a href="/christians" hreflang="pl">christians</a></li> <li class="label label-ordo2"><a href="/osce" hreflang="pl">osce</a></li> <li class="label label-ordo2"><a href="/report" hreflang="pl">report</a></li> <li class="label label-ordo2"><a href="/church" hreflang="pl">church</a></li> <li class="label label-ordo2"><a href="/persecutions" hreflang="pl">persecutions</a></li> </ul> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/page_node/field--node--field-tagi.html.twig' --> Wed, 29 Nov 2023 10:17:58 +0000 filip.bator 1473 at https://en.ordoiuris.pl Wave of violence against Christians in Poland.

The report's authors also took into account a "nativity play" staged at a school in Gdansk. The performance included a scene in which the figure of Jesus was played by a half-naked student sitting in a wheelbarrow. </p> <p class="text-align-justify">The institute also noted an attack on a parsonage in Dolice. There, a man vandalized the chancel of the church, as well as the fence, garden and door to the rectory. He also threatened the priests with death. A situation from Zabrze was also described, in which the perpetrator threatened a clergyman with a revolver. In Jaslo, on the other hand, a priest was attacked with a knife in the street.  </p> <p class="text-align-justify">- The data submitted annually by the Ordo Iuris Institute to the OSCE has remained at a similar level of intensity from year to year. So far, schools have seemed to be a place where teachers maintain standards of religious freedom. This year, however, a case of insulting the Holy Family and ridiculing Christians at a high school in Gdansk was revealed. It came to the point where teenagers acting in a play showed satanic signs to the rhythm of the music, with total approval from the teachers," stressed Magdalena Mickiewicz, coordinator of the Ordo Iuris Center for Religious Freedom.  </p> <p class="text-align-justify">For several years, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe has been conducting research and analysis on the scale of the phenomenon of hatred against various social groups. Ordo Iuris lawyers have been involved in this process since 2015 by monitoring violations of religious freedom and acts of religiously motivated aggression against Christians in Poland. To this end, the Institute established in 2018. Center for Religious Freedom, which collects cases of violations of religious freedom, insults to religious feelings, insults, harassment, vandalism or other destruction of religious sites or symbols. The Center also undertakes legal interventions to protect the rights of religious believers in situations where there are violations of their freedom to profess their religion and externalize their religion through prayer, participation in religious rites, practice or teaching.  The Ordo Iuris Institute also provides legal assistance to victims of religiously motivated hate crimes.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The OSCE report is released every year in mid-November. It collects information on hate crimes. It includes, among others, acts such as threats, property crimes, assaults, murders or any other crime motivated by hatred or prejudice. In addition, it is a prerequisite that the act in question is prohibited by law and constitutes a crime under criminal law according to the national order of the country in question.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">- It is important to sensitize society so that all manifestations of aggression motivated by religious hatred are reported. Preserving social peace should also be in the interest of those who do not identify with the Christian faith. A strong response from law enforcement is also necessary," noted attorney Magdalena Mickiewicz.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">Cases of crimes motivated by hatred against religious believers can be reported to the Ordo Iuris Center for Religious Freedom. The Ordo Iuris Institute provides professional and free legal support wherever there is a need, due to the need to protect believers whose rights are violated because of their religion.

It is important to sensitize the public on this topic so that all manifestations of aggression motivated by religious hatred are reported. A strong response from law enforcement is also necessary. We can see that the social consent to insulting believers, in particular the indulgent treatment of such behavior on the part of celebrities, combined with the passivity of the justice system, takes an increasingly tragic toll - adds Magdalena Majkowska.</span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify; margin:0cm"> </p> <p style="text-align:justify; margin:0cm"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe has for several years been conducting research and analysis on the scale of the phenomenon of hatred against various social groups. Ordo Iuris lawyers have been involved in this process since 2015 by monitoring violations of religious freedom and acts of religious aggression against Christians in Poland. To this end, the Institute established in 2018 the Ordo Iuris Religious Freedom Center, which deals with the collection of cases of violations of religious freedom, insults, harassment, vandalism or other destruction of places or religious symbols, and taking legal interventions to protect the rights of persons. believers in cases where their freedom to profess their religion and to manifest their religion through prayer, participation in religious rites, practicing or teaching are violated.

observers are performed by the representatives of academic research institutes, think tanks, social organizations, lawyers and journalists from five European countries, beginning on 24th of March. In the coming days, members of the mission will meet face-to-face, hold round-table discussions and do fieldwork to learn more about the Hungarian elections and try to get a full picture of the electoral system using all relevant sources. For information on assessing the situation of the media and public debate, observers will ask, among others, NGOs and leading media.</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify">The International Observation Mission adopted the following Declaration of Principles, based on the best international practices:</p> <ol><li class="text-align-justify">Impartiality and non-interference.</li> <li class="text-align-justify">Accuracy and verifiability of conclusions.</li> <li class="text-align-justify">Compliance with domestic law and culture.</li> <li class="text-align-justify">Neutrality and professionalism in media appearances.</li> <li class="text-align-justify">Formulation of recommendations, not accusations.</li> </ol><p class="text-align-justify">According to the issued statement of the mission, the Declaration of Principles became necessary due to the publication of the Interim Report (24 February – 15 March 2022) of OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights Election Observation Mission. The publication was immediately weaponized by one side as evidence international criticism of their political competitors. At the same time, serious allegations of inaccuracy, factual errors and partiality were made against the Interim Report, which – according to the critics – failed to present balanced and constructive opinions, presenting the position and arguments of only one side of the polarized political debate in Hungary, without referencing reliable and verifiable sources.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">Upon careful examination, the OSCE Interim Report indicates many signs of violation of the principles of international observation missions. In a highly objectionable manner, the reports often rely on unnamed sources or on the opinion of only one political side in regard to expressed criticism of the Hungarian electoral system. As a result, the presented claims and allegations regarding the election process are legitimately questioned, and the authority of the observation mission has been severely tarnished.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">- We must remember that the function of an election observer is above all a great responsibility - it strengthens democratic institutions, builds public confidence in electoral processes and helps to stop electoral irregularities. Especially after heavily criticized OSCE Interim Report, we need to regain credibility of international observation missions. And we are ready to take the lead in following the best practices, international standards and principles of impartial, democratic and respectful elections observation.

Moreover, Polish law already protects each citizen, regardless of his or her sexual orientation. It must be noted that there is no document of international law that would grant separate privileges to homosexual individuals as compared to the rest of the society.

It was noted that modern censorship in social media is ever more frequently assuming an economic dimension.
