Ludmila Brožová-Polednová (born Biedermannová, 20 December 1921 – 15 January 2015) was a Czech state prosecutor (public procurator) sentenced in the 2000s for her participation in the show trial and judicial murder of Milada Horáková and others in 1950. She was the only person sentenced in association with the political purges and repressions conducted by the ruling Communist Party in Czechoslovakia in the 1950s. == Biography == Ludmila Biedermannová was born in Prague in 1921. From 1948 to 1949, she studied at the Workers' Law School (Czech: ''Právnická škola pracujících''). In summer 1950, she participated as a "workers' prosecutor" in a show trial against a group accused of conspiracy against the state, which was allegedly led by Milada Horáková, an opposition politician and former prisoner of Nazi concentration camps. The trial resulted in four death sentences and four life sentences. Brožová-Polednová, a colleague of Josef Urválek and others, actively participated in the trial and was present during the execution itself. Záviš Kalandra, Jan Buchal and Oldřich Pecl were the other victims of the trial. The trial was later called "one of the most atrocious events in the nation's history" by the Czech Television.〔 In the 1950s, she changed her name to Brožová. In 1952, she graduated from the Faculty of Law of Charles University in Prague and later worked in Plzeň. Brožová-Polednová was charged with murder conspiracy in 2007, after the fall of the Communist regime in Czechoslovakia, as the only living participant of the trial.〔 She was sentenced to 6 years in prison, and in March 2009, she was sent to prison at Plzeň-Bory. At that time, she was the oldest jailed person in the country. She was released by amnesty granted by President Václav Klaus in December 2010, due to her age and health condition. In 2012, Brožová-Polednová was under police scrutiny in association with the Číhošť miracle, a case from the 1950s aimed at discrediting the Catholic Church. She died on 15 January 2015 in Prague; however, news of her death was announced only on 24 January, allegedly to prevent a meeting of radical Communists during her funeral. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ludmila Brožová-Polednová」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
