Pope and Polish leader clash over Solidarity during papal visit
In Warsaw Jaruzelski vows to press on with policies crushing Solidarity while Pope John Paul II urges a greater public voice. The Papal visit sparks protests, detentions, liquor bans, and visible Solidarity banners along the motorcade route from the airport to the city. Zbigniew Bujak and other Solidarity supporters join the demonstrations, with some participants injured as plainclothes and uniformed police observe.
