Kurd entrepreneur and doctor receives 900,000 crowns in compensation from Czech state

The Prague city court ruled on Wednesday that the Kurd doctor and entrepreneur Yekta Uzunoglu will be receiving nearly one million Czech crowns in compensation for monetary losses from the Czech state. In the same verdict, the Prague city court did not grant the doctor and entrepreneur the two billion Czech crowns in compensation for pain and suffering that he had pleaded for.

Mr. Uzunoglu spent 2.5 years in prison in the mid-nineties. He was charged with fraud, planned murder and torture, but was eventually freed of all charges and has since been suing the Czech state for compensation for material and immaterial losses.
