A Warsaw court issued an injunction to halt the distribution of “LGBT-free zone” stickers by a newspaper sympathetic to the conservative government, Gazeta Wyborcza reported, citing the lawyer of the plaintiff.
The decision came a day after the Gazeta Polska weekly began distributing the stickers and followed the detention of more than 50 people for attacking a gay-pride march in eastern Poland on Sunday. It resulted from a complaint by an LGBT activist who argued his rights had been abused.
