A hunger strike by about 80 people--protesting moves by Polish police who violently broke up an unofficial independence day march--entered its second day in the southern city of Katowice. Opposition sources said that the protesters, occupying a church building, demanded that police be punished for driving vans into a crowd of 2,000 marchers Friday night. Eleven people were seriously hurt. Police in several cities used force to break up anti-Communist marches on the 70th anniversary of Poland’s 1918 re-emergence as a state after 123 years of partition.
