Amnesty International urges the Polish authorities to discontinue the prosecutorial investigation into the conduct of Dr Gizela Jagielska who provided a lawful late-term abortion in October 2024 at her hospital in Oleśnica, in the South-West of Poland. Dr Jagielska provided this medical treatment on the ground of risk to the patient’s health, a lawful ground for obtaining an abortion under Polish law at any point in the pregnancy.
