Poland said senior officials have been assigned to investigate the death of an honors student who was severely injured after the police detained him in the northern city of Olsztyn. The youth, Marcin Antonowicz, 19, was a chemistry student at Gdansk University. Lech Walesa and other leaders of the banned Solidarity union have cited the youth’s death as an example of police brutality. But the government said that an investigation shows that Antonowicz, suspected of being drunk, was injured when he leaped from a moving police van in an apparent effort to escape.
