Jan Kucera, 18 year old anti-fascist, murdered near Prague

from imc-ie, 30 January 2008:

A young antifascist skinhead activist, Jan Kucera, has been brutally slain during a clash with a number of neo-nazis in the small town of Pibram, just outside of Prague in the czech republic.

Tensions between fascists and anti fascists have been high in that area since the successful mobilisation in November in which anti fascists and anarchists physically prevented neo-nazis from staging a despicable rally in the centre of Prague's historic Jewish quarter to mark the anniversary of the nazis Kristalnacht pogrom against the jews of Germany during the 1930s.

Jan Kucera was stabbed last Friday [18 January 2008] after confronting a knife wielding fascist who had pursued a group of his teenage friends following a clash in a pub between young anti fascist skinheads and a group of fascists who had taunted them with nazi salutes and slogans.

The attacker was an experienced martial artist with more then 10 years practice of musado, and stabbed Jan in the chest and back with a large military style knife, before fleeing the scene.

Jan's distraught friends managed to stop the enormous bleeding from his chest until the ambulance arrived, but then tragically discovered he had been stabbed in the back as well. Jan lost a lot of blood and even though he fought bravely for his life, he lost this final battle on Sunday [20 Jan 08].

His favorite song was "Till the end of my life I'd be anti-fascist!" by Slovak antifa band Rozpor, and until the tragic end of his young life thats what Jan was, dying for his principles while defending his young teenage friends from an experienced, aggressive stronger and armed enemy and refusing to be bullied by murdering fascist scum.

no compromise to nazi scum!

Rest in peace, Jan.

No pasaran.
