A woman has been arrested on suspicion of offending religious sentiment, after posters bearing an image of the Virgin Mary with her halo painted in the colours of the rainbow flag appeared in the city of Płock in central Poland.
Offending religious feeling is a crime under the Polish penal code. If convicted, the woman could face a prison sentence of up to two years.
“Telling stories about freedom and ‘tolerance’ doesn’t give anyone the right to offend the feelings of believers.”
Joachim Brudziński, Polish interior minister
