"Since we shall not meet again until after 21 August, the 40th anniversary of the occupation of Czechoslovakia by Warsaw Pact troops, I feel it my duty to draw attention to those dramatic events. It was quite clearly shown at that time that the communist regime was a crime against humanity, just like every totalitarian regime. After August 1968 in my homeland we witnessed another 20 years of various forms of communist violence and terror from this organised machinery of evil. Our respect should go to those who did not give in and conducted themselves with honour. Allow me to paraphrase the words of the Slovak priest Anton Srholec, Chairman of the Confederation of Slovak Political Prisoners: ‘We must never cease bearing witness that there are hundreds of thousands of honourable people in Slovakia, who made contributions to the preservation of freedom and human rights. It is thanks to them that we are once again on the side of democracy, freedom and rights’."@en1
