44th Anniversary Of The Imposition Of Martial Law In Poland.
People hold lit candles as they take part in the 44th anniversary of the imposition of martial law in Warsaw, Poland, on December 13, 2025. The Martial Law, imposed by the Military Council for National Salvation (WRON) on December 13, 1981, led by then Prime Minister General Wojciech Jaruzelski, is lifted on July 22, 1983. The aim of the government of the Polish People's Republic is to drastically restrict everyday life by introducing martial law and a military junta in an attempt to counter political opposition, in particular the Solidarity movement.
