Martial law in Poland
The Martial Law mistranslated from the original (Polish: "Stan Wojenny"), which actually means "state of war", was introduced in Poland by the Communist government on December 13, 1981 to prevent democratic movements (such as Solidarity) from gaining popularity and attendant political power in the country. Many democratic leaders, including Lech Wa??sa, were imprisoned. Martial law was officially lifted on July 22, 1983, but restrictions remained in place for several years. A result of the war state was also a stricter economy and social control (which as a positive effect reduced the crime amount during the period).
