Foreigners in Poland during Martial Law

An interesting question :

Does anyone know what happened to foreigners in Poland after the start of Martial Law in December 1981? I know that many journalists had their visas revoked, but what about others? There's such precious little information on the subject.

Have no clue.
Probably nothing much.

They had to leave quickly. Most of them anyway...

That was my understanding. I know that many journalists were summoned to the authorities and were told to leave. Certainly by reading the newspapers of the time, it's clear that they were heavily relying on second/third hand reports.

I worked in Poland during martial law years - based in Wloclawek.

Travel restrictions imposed, but continued our business. Only when visiting Gdansk did I see evidence of the problems

Did you get any special treatment as a foreigner (like extra scrutiny), or were you just subject to the same restrictions as everyone else?

Not so you would notice - but sure they were there. Additional visa restrictions were imposed and travel restrictions within Poland itself (permission and travel document required).

When I traveled into Germany on business took me 4 days to sort the paperwork. We had it much better than the locals obviously!

I have a friend who arrived in Poland shortly before Martial Law and who stayed throughout (working as a teacher).

They travelled quite frequentlyin and outside Poland thru an ingenious method I'm not at liberty to disclose...

They also couldn't conduct a 90 minute lesson because 40 minutes into it all the students were jonesing for cigarettes so bad they couldn't pay attention....
