Dana Nemcova, Alexandr Vondra, a plaque in memory of the Czech-British cooperation in secret home seminars
British Ambassador Nick Archer unveiled a plaque in memory of the Czech-British cooperation in secret home seminars called underground university during the communist regime in Czechoslovakia on a house in Prague-Letna today, on Thursday, November 14, 2019. British academics and Czech dissidents (on the photo Dana Nemcova, centre, speaks with Alexandr Vondra, left) who participated in this activity, which enabled banned teachers to give lectures, also attend the ceremony. The underground university based on secret home seminars was launched by philosopher Jan Patocka, the first spokesman for the Charter 77 human rights manifesto and movement, when he was fired from Charles University in Prague. After his death as a consequence of communist police interrogations, Julius Tomin assumed the initiative. At the end of 1978, he sent a request for aid and cooperation to Oxford University.
