An imprisoned Solidarity leader, Bogdan Lis, is being force-fed by guards after he started a hunger strike 10 days ago to protest his arrest, his lawyer said in Warsaw. Lis was detained last month along with fellow militants Adam Michnik and Wladyslaw Frasyniuk in connection with the banned trade union’s plans to mount a general strike against food price increases. Lis had headed the underground union in Gdansk. His lawyer said the activist will end his hunger strike Sunday.
