Poland in the Philippines

To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the declaration of martial law, the Institute of National Remembrance invites you to participate in the social campaign "Victims of martial law. Light the Light of Freedom ”by lighting a candle in the window on December 13 at 7.30pm and expressing solidarity with the victims of martial law.

The "Light the Light of Freedom" campaign aims to commemorate all those who lost their lives or otherwise suffered as a result of Martial Law introduced on 13 December 1981. The campaign refers to the gesture of placing candles in the windows, through which, in the early eighties, Poles expressed opposition to the brutal policy of the authorities of the Polish People’s Republic and solidarity with thousands of internees and their families.
