The World - News from Dec. 6, 1985

Solidarity leader Lech Walesa was interrogated by a Polish prosecutor in Gdansk for challenging the government’s voter turnout figures in recent elections, but sources in the banned trade union said Walesa refused to answer questions. The sources said Walesa handed the prosecutor a statement in which he said: “I can be put on trial, but nobody will shut my mouth. I will continue to struggle for the rights of the workers in Poland.” Walesa is accused of slander for saying that Solidarity monitors found the turnout for October elections to be 60%, not 79% as reported by the government. He was told to appear for questioning again today.
