Abstract
- The article presents an account of the suppression of civil liberties in Poland, based on documentary sources and comprises a part of a pamphlet to be issued shortly by the International Committee for Political Prisoners of New York City. By a decree issued in January 1919, the Communist Party of Poland was declared illegal and has remained illegal ever since. The Communist Parliamentary Faction is the only group in Poland, which may use that name. All Communist organizations, publications and propaganda activities have been suppressed. According to another official report to the government up to 1923 over 500 orthodox churches in the Ukrainian and White Russian provinces of Poland were seized by Polish authorities and delivered to the Roman Catholic clergy.
