Ing. Jiří Fiala, a political prisoner in the Czech Republic, won his case at the European Court for Human Rights. Instead of the Czech Republic fulfilling its international obligation accepting the European Court´s decision, the Czech Republic decided to persecute him. He has been detained illegally three times in the past for several months without any proper trial. Every time he was set free by the Court of Appeal. Once, even president Václav Klaus had to intervene. At the moment he is in detention again and on May 3rd,  2011 he started a hunger strike to protest his treatment. Because of this, citizens have asked Amnesty International for help. To their surpri sed, however, they were told that Amnesty International has a limited mandate in the Czech Republic which doesn´t allow them to work on cases concerning Czech political prisoners. We think that this might be a case of Amnesty International´s unjust and unbalanced position towards  Czech prisoners.
