throwing them into jail. The number^® ^ political
prisoners eventually reached 5,000 before the govern-
ment finally relented and removed the troops from the
streets. Evenso, repression remains the rule in Poland
as the secret police terrorize dissidents. The most
egregious example was the 1984 kidnapping and brutal
murder of the Rev. Jerzy Popieluszko, who ran afoul of
the government for conducting pro-Solidarity masses.
~ Notwithstanding these abuses, the Reagan ad-
ministration has lifted most of the economic sanctions.
Now the State Department wants to restore Poland’s
most-favored-nation status, which would exempt that
country from tariffs on its imports to the United States.
Once that happens, it will only be a few matter of mon-
ths before new U.S. credits are extended to Poland.
The State Department’s curious rationale for return-
ing to business as usual with Poland is that the
Jaruzelski.government has met the conditions for nor-
malization Outlined by President Reagan in 1981.
To the contrary, there has been precious little easing
of political repression in Poland during the. last five
