Case of Milada Horáková’s prosecutor to be re-opened

The case of Ludmila Brožová-Polednová, a former prosecutor who took part in the 1950s communist show trial of Milada Horáková, will probably return to the Prague City Court. Mrs Brožová, now aged 86, was sentenced last year to eight years in prison for judicial murder. The High Court on Monday discussed her appeal against the verdict which means the case will probably be retuned to a lower-level court for further deliberation. Milada Horáková, a lawyer and politician, is the only woman to have been executed during Czechoslovakia's 1950s show trials.
