Poland's Institute of National Remembrance (IPN) said today it had exhumed from mass graves in Warsaw the remains of 83 victims of a Stalin-era campaign of terror.

Most of those found in mass graves at the edge of Powazki military cemetery had been killed by a bullet to the neck, according to the IPN's forensic specialists, adding they would use DNA testing to establish their identities.

The bodies are suspected of belonging to victims of the post-war Stalinist reign of terror against Polish anti-Nazi and anti-Soviet partisans in the 1940s and 1950s.
