[en] Optical polarimetric and spectropolarimetric observations of a sample of broad absorption line QSOs were recently carried out with the 3.6m telescope and EFOSC1 in La Silla, Chile. Some preliminary results are presented here with emphasis on interesting correlations between polarization and other quantities characterizing the optical spectra of the objects.
