Violent protestors threw flash bombs, rocks & glass bottles at Pride marchers

Violent far-right protestors attacked a Pride parade with flash bombs, rocks, and glass bottles.

The city of Bialystok, Poland, was having its first Pride celebration on Saturday, and an estimated 1000 supporters marched. But over 4000 far-right counter-protestors showed up, shouting slogans like “God, honor, and motherland” and “Bialystok free of perverts.”

The counter-protestors threw objects at the Pride marchers.

Piotr Fijalkowski posted video of counter-protestors destroying a Pride flag and attacking police officers.
