Summary

[edit]
Description

Jan Palach (1948-19-01-1969) was een Tsjechische student die zichzelf op 16 januari 1969 in brand stak uit protest tegen de bezetting van Tsjecho-Slowakije door de Warschaupacttroepen als antwoord op de Praagse lente en vanwege het gebrek aan democratie in zijn land.

Na Jan Palach stak ook Jan Zajíc (1950-1969) zich in brand op het Wenceslasplein. Hij overleed op 25 februari 1969. Uiteindelijk zouden in totaal tien personen zichzelf in brand uit protest tegen het stalinisme. Jan Palach is, als eerste van hen, het bekendst geworden.

The Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia in August 1968 was designed to crush the liberalising reforms of Alexander Dubček's government during the Prague Spring. Palach died after setting himself on fire on Wenceslas Square in Prague on 16 January 1969.

The funeral of Palach turned into a major protest against the occupation and a month later (on February 25, 1969) another student, Jan Zajíc, burned himself to death in the same place.
