Poland’s former president and Solidarity founder Lech Walesa delivers a speech during a special session of Venezuela’s National Assembly, in Caracas, Venezuela, Thursday, Feb. 18, 2016. Walesa, the icon of Poland’s successful struggle to topple communism and the 1983 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, has previously acknowledged signing a commitment to be an informant, but has insisted he never acted on it. In 2000 he was cleared by a special court, which said it found no evidence of collaboration. (AP Photo/Fernando Llano)
