Poland finally pay justice to young oppositionists
The president of Poland has signed a law that recognizes anticommunist oppositionists from the past who, due to their young age, were sent to juvenile detention centers or subjected to other corrective measures instead of prison, as being on equal footing with those who served more “adult” sentences as prison, and mandates the payment of compensation to them. Recognizing them as victims of repression is of immense importance for contemporary youth activism and for the importance of taking their needs into account.
