This volume of Annotated Legal Documents on Islam in Europe covers the Czech Republic and consists of an annotated collection of legal documents affecting the status of Islam and Muslims. The legal texts are published in the original Czech language while the annotations and supporting material are in English. By legal documents are meant the texts of legislation, including relevant secondary legislation, as well as significant court decisions. Each legal text is preceded by an introduction describing the historical, political and legal circumstances of its adoption, plus a short paragraph summarising its content. The focus of the collection is on the religious dimensions of being Muslim in Europe, i.e. on individuals' access to practise their religious obligations and on the ability to organise and manifest their religious life.

This volume presents a collection of letters concerning the Prague Spring. The Prague Spring was a period of political liberalization in Czechoslovakia during the era of its domination by the Soviet Union after World War II. It began in January 1968, when reformist Slovak Alexander Dubček came to power, and continued until that August when the Soviet Union and members of its Warsaw Pact allies invaded the country to halt the reforms. The Prague Spring reforms were an attempt by Dubček to grant additional rights to the citizens in an act of partial decentralization of the economy and democratization. The freedoms granted included a loosening of restrictions on the media, speech and travel. After the invasion, Czechoslovakia entered a period of normalization -- subsequent leaders attempted to restore the political and economic values that had prevailed before Dubček gained control of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (KSC?). Gustáv Husák, who replaced Dubček and also became president, reversed almost all of Dubček's reforms. The letters can be divided into various categories -- political statements, letters relaying the personal experiences of the writers to Gustáv Husák, and appeals from relatives of political prisoners written directly to Gustáv Husák, letters written to various Czechoslovak institutions during the Spring, and letters written by the Czechoslovak opposition to media outlets and politicians in the West during the late 1970s.
