Warsaw protest against Jaruzelski

YOUNG political activists demonstrated yesterday outside the home of Poland’s last communist-era leader, whom some condemned and others praised on the anniversary of his imposing martial law in 1981.

Banners outside General Wojciech Jaruzelski’s home in Warsaw read: “Here lives a communist criminal” and “Jaruzelski, we remember your crimes.”

On December 13, 1981, Poles awoke to find Mr Jaruzelski’s government had imposed martial law.
