Unfortunately. its growing influence was seen as a threat to the government of General Jaruzelski and his Soviet backers in the Kremlin who held menacing military maneuvers on the Polish border in order to drive home their message that Poland was moving in the wrong direction. The Sovietestablished Polish police state declared martial law in December 1981. and later banned the union. Over 4.000 former activists and Solidarity members were arrested because of their political views. Many of the political detainees who later gained their release were forced. in blatant violation of international law. to emigrate from their native land. Many basic human rights have been disregarded and the former programs advocating social justice have been forgotten. Even though martial law has been suspended. it has not been lifted.
