U S Human Rights Prizes To Solidarity Leaders
Three Polish Solidarity figures Adam Michnik Zbigniew Bujak and priest Jerzy Popieluszko were chosen for the Robert F Kennedy Memorial Human Rights Award worth 40000 dollars but could not travel to collect it. A videotaped message described Solidarity support from clergy and lawmakers as authorities loosened sanctions after the 1981 crackdown and release of 225 political prisoners.
