The legacy of Milada Horáková: 75 years after her execution
One of Milada Horáková’s legacies is that the defense of human rights and democratic institutions must be exercised without double standards, regardless of the political orientation of the authoritarian regime in question. Another of her great legacies is the extraordinary courage of a truly exceptional person, who was willing to risk everything in the peaceful defense of human rights, thinking not only of their own freedom, but also of that of their fellow citizens and future generations.
