Milada Horáková

Milada Horáková was a Czech politician, lawyer, and activist known for her strong opposition to the totalitarian regime in Czechoslovakia. In the 1940s and 1950s, she advocated for democracy and human rights. In 1950, during a Stalinist crackdown, she was arrested, tried, and executed for supposedly plotting against the state. Her trial was politically motivated and exemplified the harsh repression of dissent during that time. Today, Horáková is remembered as a symbol of courage and resistance against oppression and is celebrated for her commitment to justice and liberty. Her legacy continues to inspire human rights advocates worldwide.
