Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the judicial repression used against Cracow activists of the inde- pendent publishing movement during martial law. This issue has not been the subject of detailed research so far. Existing literature has focused more on the operational activ- ities of the communist apparatus of repression than on the legal sanctions imposed on individuals involved in the underground, illegal publishing. The article focuses on court cases conducted in connection with the editing, printing and distribution of underground magazines and non-serial publications. Cases brought against people printing and dis- tributing leaflets and notices with anti-state content were excluded from the analysis.
