44th Anniversary Of Wujek Coal Mine Pacification
A miner wearing a gala uniform attends the ceremony marking the 44th anniversary of the pacification of the 'Wujek' coal mine in Katowice, Poland on December 16, 2025. The Pacification of Wujek was a strike-breaking action by the Polish police and army at the Wujek Coal Mine, culminating in the massacre of nine striking miners and dozens wounded mine workers on December 16, 1981 after the introduction of Martial Law by General Wojciech Jaruzelski.
