Milada Horáková, victims of communism, remembered

Dozens of people, including Justice Minister Daniela Kovářová, took part in a memorial ceremony for the victims of communism on Saturday at a memorial site at Prague’s Petřín Hill. The ceremony marked the 59th anniversary of the death of democratic politician Milada Horáková, executed following a Stalinist show trial by the former Communist regime. Numerous politicians attended, including Prague Mayor Pavel Bém: he stressed that the majority of those who suffered under the former regime remained largely unknown to the public.
