Prosecution drops anti-communist lawsuit

A state prosecutor in Prague has dropped a lawsuit against the Communist Party concerning their position on the 1948 communist putsch. The party leadership endorsed on Friday the communist takeover that led to the establishment of a Stalinist regime in 1950’s Czechoslovakia. A lawsuit was then filed against the party accusing it of supporting and promoting a totalitarian regime which constitutes a crime in the Czech Republic. A spokesperson for the prosecution said that no law was breached by the Communist Party statements.
