Court sanctions teacher’s dismissal for questioning Russian war crimes in Ukraine
A Prague court has upheld the decision of a Prague elementary school to fire teacher Martina Bednářová for questioning Russian war crimes in class. Her dismissal was thus definitively confirmed by the Prague City Court. The teacher also faces charges of genocide denial for her statements in class about the war in Ukraine. A district court initially acquitted her on the grounds of freedom of speech, but the appeals chamber asked for the case to be reviewed in October.
