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"},{"term_id":323,"name":"The Vidovdan massacres of Serbs of Mostar.","slug":"vidovdanski-pokolji-srba-en","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":323,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"Conditionally referred to as \"Vidovdan\" massacres, the killings and deportations of Serbs in Mostar mostly occurred during June, July, and August of 1941 (with a particularly high number of incidents around Vidovdan).
