Poland's last Communist leader General Wojciech Jaruzelski has died aged 90 after a long illness, Polish media say.
Gen Jaruzelski led Poland from 1981, when he declared martial law and ordered the arrest of the pro-democracy Solidarity leader Lech Walesa.
But he lifted martial law two years later and after growing unrest was forced to negotiate with Solidarity in 1989.
He had been in ill health for some time.
