Maciek Piasecki

Maciek covers protests and acts of civil disobedience across Poland and Eastern Europe for the crowdfunded human rights and rule of law website OKO.press. He specialises in direct livestreams as well as no-frills video edited on a mobile, often in the field as events unfold, be it a workers’ blockade of an Amazon warehouse, a small-town Pride march, or a nationalist rally. The films, often documenting instances of police abuse of power, are regularly used as court evidence. His fields of professional interests currently include weaponised misinformation, communications security, police tactics and procedures, the right to protest, and free speech.
