Unknown perpetratros vandalized a monument for unborn children at the cemetery of Brzezówka in Cieszyn, during the night of October 31st. Black paint was poured over the monument. The local authorities reported the case to the police from Cieszyn.

"Another line of thoughtlessness and rudeness has been crossed. As far as I can understand all the anger and helplessness in the face of what is happening around us. I cannot understand who and what this act of vandalism was supposed to serve at the municipal cemetery in Brzezówka. (...) What kind of person does it take to pour paint on the monument of unborn children under the cover of night, possibly destroying it irretrievably "- wrote the mayor of the commune, Grzegorz Sikorski, on his Facebook profile.
