Solidarity counter march draws 30000 in Warsaw May Day clash
A crowd of about 30,000 Solidarity supporters staged a spontaneous counter march to the Communist Party May Day celebration in Warsaw. Riot police blocked but did not arrest protesters as they chanted We Want Freedom and The Whole of Poland. The anti-regime demonstration began at Castle Square and grew into a major morale boost for the opposition amid martial law. The official parade proceeded with a 24-gun salute as Gen Wojciech Jaruzelski spoke to an elderly crowd.

Honduran hijackers free all captives
Four leftist gunmen who hijacked a Honduran airliner freed the last 11 hostages after a 72 hour siege. The plane was left for Cuba with the hijackers aboard after demands were rejected. Captives escaped during a night-time breakout, including the pilot and eight Americans. The government refused to pay ransom and offered safe conduct to the hijackers. Monsignor Andres Cordero Lanza helped guide survivors to safety.

Israelis split by grief over occupation amid West Bank protests
In Jerusalem a rising death toll among Arab demonstrators and Begin’s call for a settlement policy shift stir deep sorrow and debate at home. Some Israelis support perpetual control, others seek a secure path to end rule over 1.3 million Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. In six weeks, 13 Arabs have been killed by Israeli gunfire, prompting parental anger about sending sons to occupy forces.
