Anniversary of pacification of the ''Wujek'' mine

Yesterday was the 38th anniversary of the deadly attack by the communist secret service on striking coal miners in the “Wujek” mine. 9 men were killed and 23 were injured. The massacre of the miners in Katowice was the deadliest event during the 1981 Martial Law in Poland which saw more than 100 dissidents killed when General Jaruzelski’s military junta tried to crush the Solidarity movement.
