A leading European human rights organization called out the Polish government Thursday with a memorandum condemning the Eastern European country\u2019s treatment and stigmatization of its LGBTI citizens.<\/p>\n
In a report, Dunja Mijatovic, the Council of Europe\u2019s commissioner of human rights, criticized Poland\u2019s ruling nationalist Law and Justice party for eroding conditions and treatment of LGBTI people. Mijatovic explicitly addressed President Andrzej Duda for what the report called his endorsement of hate, after Duda called the LGBTI movement an \u201cideology worse than communism.\u201d<\/p>\n
