Officers given three-year suspended sentences over death of Uzbek national

The District Court in Plzeň has handed down a three-year suspended sentence to two police officers for the accidental death of an Uzbek man last August. The foreigner suffered a head injury after being thrown out of a bar by the policemen, but did not receive proper treatment at a local hospital and died two days later. The officers had faced up to 15 years in prison for manslaughter in the case; one of them has made clear he will not appeal the decision.
