Police seized Lech Walesa at his home in a Gdansk suburb and held him for eight hours to stop his first public speech since detention. Witnesses said officers used a crow bar to enter, and Walesa was driven around before being returned home. The move disrupted a ceremony marking the 12th anniversary of the 1970 Baltic riots and followed by a crowd of supporters.
