Jan Šinágl angažovaný občan, nezávislý publicista

Of course, the public media was not present (the media silence on the case continues). I sat alone in the public seats with former diplomat Miroslav Belica, PhD, who came to support the prosecutor, Ms Lenka Dubovcova. The young judge, JUDr. David Štamberk PhD, arrived smiling 15 minutes late without apologizing for his late arrival. It was the third hearing in the case. The MFA was represented by a young lawyer Mgr. David Syka. He refused to introduce himself to me in the corridor (see photo on the right), saying that he did not know me (I mention him in Marocco Gate IX - see link below). In the course of further conversation it became clear that he knows me too well. He was quite arrogant at the beginning (he refused to shake my hand during the introduction). After the court hearing was over, he was calmer and did not oppose my arguments anymore.

After my announcement of making an audio recording, the judge paused for a minute, studied the papers (as if looking for the appropriate law) and then asked me to identify myself. A visit was not enough for him, he demanded an ID card (I preferred not to ask for permission to take an illustrative photo). He took over the case, recapitulated the prosecution, and quite quickly, formally, gave his verdict. After receiving it, the plaintiff will, of course, appeal. It was amusing how the judge conferred with one of the jurors, who, upon being addressed, immediately began nodding her head very actively in agreement, while the other nodded only after being heard. The judge never once looked at the applicant during the hearing, or averted his eyes or looked at the papers. It will probably go a long way in the current Czech justice system if it "solves" sensitive cases in this way, reaching too high and where justice comes last.

Jan Lipavský: "The Czech Republic has come a long way since the Velvet Revolution. We are a free, adult and self-confident democracy. In the 1990s, people wanted a better world, and we must strive for it now. It would be disrespectful to resign ourselves to the ideals of the Velvet Revolution and believe that there is nothing left to improve."

About two months after his death, his wife asked then Secretary of State Miroslav Stasek (now the Czech ambassador to the US) why there was no press release or press coverage of the death of diplomat Petr Dubovec? His answer: 'In the case of deaths of diplomats, the MFA does not react in any way and no news is issued'. In that case, he was probably the only great diplomat in the world, if we exclude totalitarian and undemocratic regimes. The attitude of the Czech Embassy in Riyadh was scandalous and inhuman. By the way, after his death, information about the death of Czech diplomats was always made public?! President Petr Pavel will also be informed about this scandal.

In the video below, his wife, Ms Lenka Dubovcová, describes the shocking facts. Of course, she meant the Foreign Service Act, not the Civil Service Act.

A lawsuit was filed against the MFA of the Czech Republic and two hearings were held. The judge was promoted, the case is back to square one. The public will be informed about the further course of action. The public media has shown no interest in the case. Why is that? You'll understand after watching the video. The demonstrators in November 89, 34 years later, never imagined such criminal conditions.

I suppose that the MFA of the Czech Republic will ask the police to issue an international arrest warrant for my person so that I cannot disturb the speech of Minister Lipavsky by my mere presence, as was the case on the 7th. November in Vienna. Neither the Director of the Diplomatic Academy in Vienna, Mr. Emil Brix, nor Minister Jan Lipavsky have yet replied to my letters. The struggle for freedom of speech and the public's right to information has its price - some are prosecuted by the police, others by their own fear. JŠ
