Poland's National Broadcasting Council has fined the private television channel TVN for its coverage of opposition demonstrations in Warsaw last year. The council said the station's coverage had 'promoted illegal activities' and 'encouraged behaviour that threatened security' and fined it 1.48m zloty (€352,000). But critics of the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party say the council's decision amounts to censorship. The demonstrations in December 2016 were sparked after PiS said it would limit the number of journalists and television stations allowed to cover parliamentary proceedings.
