2000 - Šumperk - Several articles in the left-wing ”Pochodeň” (”Torch”) samizdat were published in the District of Šumperk, which, by their content supported movements aiming at the suppression of civil rights and freedoms and disseminated alarming news and slander.

Based on the accusation the accused used in his articles in 16 cases expressions such as: ”Off with bloody capitalism! Long live to the new socialist revolution which erases from the history the parasitical minority of rich idlers who want to live only from other people’s work and suppress their resistance. Socialism, however, cannot be achieved without revolution, nationalization, and tough suppression of the resistance of those whom it takes away their privileges, power and idleness.” ”Currently, we have laws imposing punishment on soldiers or recruits for various kinds of ”disobedience” in connection with the NATO directives. Under a ”state of emergency” or at war the regime will have the ”right” to shoot the relevant persons in similar cases, and that in spite of the current non-existence of death penalty in CR!
