CHR Report 2023: State of Civil Rights and Freedoms in Poland
The 2023 report of the Commissioner for Human Rights summarizes the key problems in the observance of human rights in Poland. It points to a rule-of-law crisis in the judiciary, the overuse of pre-trial detention, disproportionate surveillance of citizens by state services, and discriminatory regulations against minorities. The document contains hundreds of the CHR's appeals to authorities demanding legal changes that directly affect citizens' safety, privacy, and finances.
Key points
Judiciary Crisis: Rulings by judges appointed after changes to the National Council of the Judiciary are being questioned, undermining legal certainty and prolonging court proceedings for ordinary people.
Excessive Surveillance: State services have overly broad access to citizens' telecommunications and internet data without effective, independent judicial oversight.
Discrimination against Minorities: The restriction of German language teaching for the minority to 1 hour per week was maintained, unlike the 3 hours for other minorities.
Patients' Rights: Following the Constitutional Tribunal's ruling, women face hindered access to legal abortion, and doctors fear criminal liability, endangering life and health.
Tenants' Rights and Evictions: A lack of social and municipal housing forces municipalities to carry out 'street evictions', and a Constitutional Tribunal ruling prohibiting this practice has not been implemented for years.
