A Women's Strike participant is suspected of organizing an assembly without the required notification, presiding over such an assembly, or presiding over a prohibited assembly.
“For now, I do not need legal assistance,” says Halina Gniewek. “I am not afraid. I will refuse to testify. It is difficult to comment on anything. This is ordinary intimidation of people who are active during the Women's Strike,” Gniewek adds.
On the istotne.pl website, we reported on every walk by residents of Gromadka as part of the Women's Strike. Each time, it was a spontaneous action intended to show that people in smaller towns also disagree with the current situation in Poland. Let us recall that Marta Lempart, leader of the All-Poland Women's Strike, emphasized the importance and significance of protests in small towns in an interview with istotne.pl.
“Every authority imagines that it has places that belong to it, that are free from resistance, where no one will oppose it. The fact that they encountered the awareness that they do not know when or where it will happen, that no territory belongs to them, and that nowhere can they be certain there will be no resistance—it froze them. It terrified them, and they are still afraid of it,” added Marta Lempart.
The police are summoning the most active participants in spontaneous anti-government marches for questioning. In Bolesławiec, three people reported to the police station: Kina Gęsicka-Biały, Dariusz Sas and Artur Kuczyński. They all refused to testify.
