Polish bishop resigns amid abuse cover-up allegations

Pope Francis has accepted the resignation of Polish bishop accused of covering up child sexual abuse by priests, the Vatican said on Saturday, the second such decision in as many months.

Andrzej Dziuba, the 73-year-old bishop of Lowicz, central Poland, resigned “at the request of the Holy See”, said the apostolic nuncio representing the Vatican in Poland.

Poland, long considered a Catholic bastion, has in recent years seen the once-powerful Church shaken by cases of paedophilia attempts by high-ranking clergy to conceal them. Kaduna State Government on Saturday dismissed a report that it hired a private negotiator to facilitate the safe return of children abducted from Kuriga community on Thursday as false and mischievous.

Iran on Saturday denounced US tech giant Meta's decision to remove the Facebook and Instagram accounts of its supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, calling it a "violation of freedom of expression".
