Tens of thousands converge in Warsaw for 'biggest' abortion protest

Description

Tens of thousands were on Friday converging on the streets of Warsaw in what organisers say will be the biggest protest yet against a court ruling that tightens Poland's abortion laws. FRANCE 24 correspondent Gulliver Cragg says the protestors are also angry how the country is being governed, with little separation of power with the judiciary.

    Protesters in Warsaw occupy several key roundabouts in the city centre to block traffic and chant anti-government slogans, brandishing the protest symbol -- a red lightning bolt, as thousands of people take to the streets of Poland for a fifth straight day of protests against a constitutional court ruling that would impose a near-total ban on abortion in the EU country. Poland's constitutional court last week ruled in favour of further restrictions, stating that an existing law allowing the abortion of damaged foetuses was "incompatible" with the constitution.
