Czechia, the Web and Neo-Nazis

Tags:

The Brno Municipal Court today began hearing the case of Igor Mižák, who, according to the indictment, was supposed to have founded and managed the neo-Nazi website White Media. In the past, the website published hundreds to thousands of private documents and personal data, including e-mail correspondence between former prime ministers Bohuslav Sobotka and Vladimír Špidla. Among the victims are also activists fighting against racism and xenophobia, including several Roma. However, the court is not addressing the website’s hateful content due to the US position. Mižák defends himself by claiming that he only rented the website. If found guilty, he faces up to five years in prison.
