Huge crowds of protesters marched along the streets of Warsaw on Wednesday evening demanding the legalisation of abortion, after a pregnant woman’s death in a hospital in May. Dorota Lalik died of septic shock in a hospital after her waters broke in the 20th week of pregnancy. On Monday, Poland’s patients’ rights ombudsman said the hospital should have told her that her life could be saved through an abortion.

Poland’s anti-abortion laws are among the strictest in Europe and have provoked mass protests in recent years
