Mirosław Chojecki, who has died aged 76, fought to liberate Poland from communism much as his parents had fought the occupying Nazis. But where they fought with guns, he mostly fought with books, publishing materials and the uncensored word.
In the mid-1970s Chojecki joined the dissident Workers’ Defence Committee (KOR), the organisation founded by Warsaw intellectuals and workers caught up in the protests of June 1976. In consequence he was frequently harassed, jailed and assaulted by police and the state security service.
