Peaceful protest against the arrest of Margot and repressions of LGBTQ+ activists in Poland.
Stop bzdurom (‘stop the bullshit’) is an anarcho-queer collective actively fighting against queerphobia in Poland. On the 7th August one of the activists, Margot, was arrested in Warsaw. 48 protesters who tried to stop the arrest were dragged away and detained by the police. There are demonstrations organised in solidarity with the activists across Poland and abroad. Let us show our support from Birmingham and meet on Saturday 15th August at 4:00 pm in Centenary Square.
Remember about the face coverings and social distancing rules!
