Czech Antifascist Arrested For A Murder

On the 20th of March a young antifascist Pavel Kroupa went with his brother by a bus on a line from Prague to Mlada Boleslav. There werealso 5 nazis in a bus. First of all he was verbally attacked by them like "be sure you will not come from this bus alive". At the end of the way they stood outside of the bus one with knife, other with boxer (a type of home-made knuckle-duster). There started a fight and during this he killed one of them by a knife. Police came to his home at night and accused him of a murder. He is in a prison now, arrested for a murder. We think there was only one way how to survive - to fight for self-defence.

Every support for hime is needed. We make benefits for him to have a good lawyer and for release. We hope he will be released, because there was a similar case in a past, when one man (famous sculpturist Pavel Opocensky) killed one nazi skinhead in self-defence. But it took years of proofing, that he was attacked by a group of skinheads and that he killed him in self-defence. He is free now.

But Pavel Kroupa is still in prison and we want our state to release him.

The support for him can be sent to him to the prison address:
