The Bydgoszcz events (Polish:wypadki bydgoskie) was a major turning point in the early history of the emergent pro-democracy Solidarity movement. NSZZ RI Solidarność (Independent Self-Governing Trade Union of Individual Farmers Solidarity, also called Rural Solidarity) was created, but not legalised by the authorities. Because this a strike was proclaimed on March 16, 1981 in the Vodvoidship of Bydgoszcz. The local police and security forces brutally pacified (beat up) the Solidarity members. Both the ZOMO and Milicja Obywatelska were known to be state run thugs in uniforms.
