Gizela Jagielska says she has received thousands of death threats in relation to her work administering legal abortions in a hospital in Olesnica in southwestern Poland .

Activists led by far-right MEP Grzegorz Braun attempted to carry out a citizen's arrest at the hospital.

The gynaecologist says police were called, but officers failed to arrest Braun , who has immunity from detention.

Poland has some of the strictest abortion laws in Europe which only permit the procedure in cases of rape, incest, or if the mother's life is threatened.
