Polish Ombudsman for Children faces court accusations of institutional violence

A Polish court has accused the Ombudsman for Children, Monika Horna-Cieślak, of 'institutional violence' and excessive involvement in a case involving children from Białołęka, with prosecutors investigating a possible crime. The ombudsman denies the allegations, citing concern for a child's safety. This marks a notable clash between a state human-rights body and the judiciary, potentially affecting institutional trust and legal precedent in Poland.
