Hundreds protest emergency law in Warsaw

Several hundred protesters gathered in front of the Sejm, the Polish parliament on 6 September, 2021 to protest a presidential decree which invoked a state of emergency along the border region with Belarus. While proponents argue that Poland is under threat of a hybrid war by Belarus which is pushing migrants from the Middle East over the border opponents argue the law is a political tool resulting in further abuse of vulnerable people. Poland has been accused of illegally pushing-back migrants sent over the border by Belarusian forces in recent weeks.
