Actor wins court case over removal of his name from list of StB collaborators

A Prague city court ruled on Wednesday that the Security Services Archive must remove the name of actor Jan Kanyza from its list of communist-era secret police (StB) collaborators. Mr Kanyza had sued the Security Services Archive, arguing that including his name on the list was not justified and that it should be removed. The interior ministry in the past has claimed that Mr Kanyza collaborated with the StB, citing the testimony of one of the StB’s former employees.
