MUDr. Zdeněk Susa

"He wanted to know who I was. So I said I was Dr Susa and I was coming to visit Mrs Nemcova. That confused him a little bit, so the gentlemen asked if she was on sick leave, I denied it and they found out about me. And Dana, because they had just had a search and they were arresting her, they were arresting members of VONS, the Committee for the Defence of the Unjustly Prosecuted, at that time, so Dana looked at me sadly from a distance. Well, they let me go when I came in as a doctor and left me in my own juice for about a week and then they summoned me to the tile building in Bartolomejska street for questioning."

"I only found out about it when the hunt for signatories began. The text seemed to me to be nothing against nothing, it only asked that the laws of this country and international treaties be respected. I would have signed it without any problem if I hadn't already known at that point how the signatories were being chased. So my wife and I sat on it whether or not we should sign, but we had these three young children and everything depended on my income because my wife was at home with the kids. And so we said, if we don't sign, but we have to do our best to make sure that the people who did sign weren't isolated."
