WERE FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE American Heart . Association Judge Called Biased In Czech Case Prague (JTA) — Formal sentencing of the editor of the Czech anti-Semitic weekly Politika has been postponed after the defen- dant's attorney alleged that the judge was biased against his client. Josef Tomas began publishing the anti-Semitic Politika in 1991. That same year, several people, in- cluding members of Parlia- ment, began lodging com- plaints against Mr. Tomas. The police investigation of the case lasted nearly two years. On Jan. 14, District Court Judge Helena Kralova, taking advantage of a newly introduced section of the Czech penal code, issued a written condemnation of Mr. Tomas without hearing the case in open court. Judge Kralova sentenced him to five years' probation after suspending a one-year prison sentence. The judge also imposed a three-year ban on the publication of Politika.

Find It All In The Jewish News Classifieds Call 354-5959 Last week, Mr. Tomas ap- pealed the sentence, and when Judge Kralova re- jected the objection that she was biased, Mr. Tomas' at- torney filed a complaint that will have to be ruled upon by the Superior Court of the city of Prague. In December 1992, Mr. Tomas was obliged to inter- rupt publication of Politika after he was criticized for publishing a "partial list of Jews and Jewish half-breeds in contemporary Czech cul- ture." The list was accompanied by an article written by Mr. Tomas railing against "Slays from around the Jor- dan River" who live in what was then Czechoslovakia spreading the "smell of garlic" and "plundering the country." The list included the names of 160 leading Czech writers, musicians, actors and filmmakers of Jewish as well as non-Jewish origin. Among those on Mr. Tomas' list were writer Vaclav Havel, now president of the Czech Republic, who is not Jewish; Czech- American film director Milos Forman; and the deputy minister of culture, Michal Prokop. After two years of in- vestigations, the public prosecutor charged Mr. Tomas in February 1993 Vaclav Havel: On the list. with inciting ethnic and racial hatred, abusing citizens because of their na- tionality, race or convictions and for propagating ideas aimed at the suppression of civil rights and liberties. Although Politika has been forced to suspend publication, another paper, the Czech monthly Dnesek (Today), has appeared to fill the vacuum. Dnesek, which is edited in the Czech city of Brno by Frantisek Kasparek, carries articles by former con- tributors to Politika and by others on the right wing. In a letter written in December to government, parliamentary and judicial officials, the Federation of Jewish Communities of the Czech Republic called for the speedy introduction of legislation that would im- pose stiff legal penalties on those inciting racial and re- ligious hatred. ❑ Committee Set For Celebrations New York (JTA) — To mark the 3,000 years that have elapsed since King David established the capital of his kingdom in Jerusalem, there will be a year- long international celebration.
