Witnesses to Charter 77: Jan Litomiský
- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: February 5, 2026, 19:00 – 21:00
Jan Litomiský's friends describe him as an exceptional person: educated, cheerful and kind, hospitable, a deeply religious Evangelical with a tenacious character. He was not broken by either State Security investigators or the guards at Bory prison, where he served three years in the early 1980s. Jan Litomiský signed Charter 77 and became a member of the Committee for the Defence of the Unjustly Prosecuted.
How does he see the world today? What does he consider the most serious threats? What does he think about the current Czech government, the US, Ukraine, and Russia?
Mikuláš Kroupa of Memory of Nations will tell Litomiský’s story and conduct an interview with the one-time dissident.
