Thousands have gathered across Poland to mourn the death of mayor Pawel Adamowicz, who was stabbed on Jan. 13 and died the next day from his wounds.

Adamowicz, 53, had been mayor of the city Gdansk for 20 years and was well known for his liberal views. A former convict rushed the stage during a charity event Jan. 13 and stabbed him.
