Warsaw, January 16 (RHC)-- In Poland, the mayor of Gdansk, Pawel Adamowicz, has died, one day after he was stabbed on stage during a charity event.  The attacker, who has been charged with murder, reportedly yelled from the stage that he was wrongfully imprisoned under the government of the Civic Platform party, to which the mayor used to belong. 

Adamowicz had been the mayor of the port city of Gdansk since 1998 and was a staunch critic of the right-wing Polish government.  He espoused liberal policies and ideas, defending LGBTQ rights and immigrant rights.
