Abstract

In Czechoslovakia, the normalisation process (a catchword for a return to the pre-reform situation) which started in April 1969, after A. Dubček and his supporters were ousted from the leadership of the CP, imposed strict control over the intellectual life of the country. Not all groups acquiesced in this without active opposition to the deprivation of human rights. A small segment of the intelligentsia, composed of different professions, seized many opportunities to demonstrate to the authorities that it was prepared to fight for its rights with peaceful means, even at the risk of imprisonment. The most notable demonstration of this determination was the establishment of the Charter 1977, an organisation which committed itself to monitoring the extent to which Czechoslovakia honoured the obligations which it took on when it signed the United Nations Accord on human rights.1
