IM\u0160IR GIGI\u0106, son of IM\u0160IR, born on July 26, 1886* in Tasov\u010di\u0107i near \u010capljina. Butcher, lived and worked in Mostar. A veteran revolutionary and activist, pre-war member of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (KPJ), prominent activist in the labor movement, and one of the organizers of strikes. He was arrested multiple times and sentenced. Arrested in early September 1940 due to the protest general strike in Mostar, which involved over 2,000 workers, all companies and craft workshops, as well as the coal mine, triggered by the ban on the activities of FC “Vele\u017e” as a center of progressive ideas. Taken to the Lepoglava prison. According to the book “Spomenica Mostara 1941-1945,” he was released from Lepoglava but was arrested again by the Ustasha in July 1941 in Mostar, taken away, and killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a recorded memory of demonstrations and the arrest of Im\u0161ir Gigi\u0107: “The day was unusually beautiful, sunny, and the streets were filled with people. Suddenly, above our heads, above the heads of more than three thousand citizens who had gathered from six streets, banners were unfurled with large letters stating that this restless and agitated crowd demanded an open and decisive fight against the fifth column, better living and working conditions, lower prices, alliance with the Soviet Union and other democratic forces in Europe. I couldn’t manage to extricate myself from the dense ranks of demonstrators. The crowd pushed me to the ‘Pariz’ caf\u00e9, to Im\u0161ir Gigi\u0107, who, from the fence, in a convulsive zeal, addressed words of struggle to the already heated, noisy crowd of citizens. I was practically dragged through the main street to the cinema, from where I managed to break free and get lost. (\u2026) The next day, the police closed the Workers’ Hall, confiscated the equipment, and arrested thirty communists, who the following day from prison listened to the cheers of several hundred demonstrators, their comrades. Meanwhile, sirens wailed, announcing a workers’ strike in all companies. The city demanded the release of the communists. The police again turned their gun barrels and escorted eighteen communists in three groups to Lepoglava. They also took Im\u0161ir Gigi\u0107, who, in 1941, along with many comrades, welcomed the Ustasha in prison, and his death (\u2026)”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It exerted a powerful influence on the population, gaining reputation and support among workers organized in trade unions and through personal examples. They were frequently arrested for their activism, with the largest arrests occurring in 1929, 1932, and 1940.\r\nA significant number of old communists were arrested in 1940 and sent to forced labor camps, preventing them from directly participating in the People's Liberation War. The arrests occurred when the authorities closed down the Workers' Hall and banned the activities of FC \"Vele\u017e,\" considering it a centre for progressive ideas. In response, the working class of Mostar organized a general strike involving around 2000 workers from all companies and craft workshops. For their activity they were tried and convicted and sent to the Lepoglava camp, among them: Im\u0161ir Gigi\u0107, Nikola Abramovi\u0107-Bjelica, Mustafa Bjelavac, Rade Bitanga, Mustafa Alajbegovi\u0107, Smajo Brki\u0107, Hasan Kre\u0161o, Slavko Bala\u0107, Luka Kne\u017ei\u0107, and Salko Feji\u0107 (first group), and later Mustafa Humo, Velija Hajdur, Vasilije \u0160o\u0161i\u0107, Mile \u0106e\u0107ez, Ljubo Ajvaz, Rade Majstorovi\u0107, and Rudolf Hrozni\u010dek. Only four of them returned from the camps: Salko Feji\u0107, Smajo Brki\u0107, Mustafa Alajbegovi\u0107, and Luka Kne\u017ei\u0107. The remaining communists were in the prison of Lepoglava when the war broke out and were soon executed after the Ustasha came to power. Nevertheless, their influence continued to be felt among members of the resistance movement in the city, particularly among the\u00a0the League of Communist Youth (SKOJ) members who quickly organized and continued the struggle against fascism.\r\n\r\nSource: Per\u0161en, Mirko (1963): \"Lepoglava,\" Zagreb.","parent":0,"count":17,"filter":"raw"}],"prezime":[{"term_id":398,"name":"G","slug":"g-en","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":398,"taxonomy":"prezime","description":"","parent":0,"count":23,"filter":"raw"}]},"ptb_featured_image":{"url":"http:\/\/partizansko.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/no-picture.png","title":"no-picture","caption":""},"builder_content":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/partizan\/12510","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/partizan"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/partizan"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/partizan\/12510\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14804,"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/partizan\/12510\/revisions\/14804"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9313"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12510"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12510"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12510"},{"taxonomy":"prezime","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/partizansko.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prezime?post=12510"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
