Recently, Solidarna Polska (United Poland), a Polish conservative party, proposed a three-year jail sentence for anyone who insults the church or religious sentiments. According to Marcin Warchoł, the deputy justice minister of the party, desecrations of the images of the Virgin Mary, disruption of church services, and spraying of slogans on church walls are just a few examples justifying this proposed law. Last year, Nergal, the vocalist of the Polish extreme metal band Behemoth, was convicted of “offending religious feelings” for showing himself stepping on a painting of the Virgin Mary. The conviction was later overturned in court after Nergal challenged it. Warchol added, there were also multiple incidents during LGBTQ parades where the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ were depicted with rainbow halos. Anti-abortion demonstrators also interrupted church service and vandalized church properties. Warchol claimed that the laws aimed to expand freedom and rights for the LGBTQ community are “at the expense of Christians.” According to the new law public mocking of church or other religious association would lead to two years in prison, or up to three years if it is done via social media.
