18 year old Jan Cukera , anti fascist activist murdered while defending his freinds from Nazis

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 Pragues historic Jewish quarter to mark the anniversary of the nazis Kristalnacht pogrom against the jews of Germany during the 1930s .

RIP Jan .

Jan Kucera was stabbed last Friday after confronting a knife weilding fascist who had persued a group of his teenage freinds 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 practise 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 untill 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.

His favourite song was "Till the end of my life I'd be anti-fascist!" by Slovak antif band Rozpor, and untill the tragic end of his young life thats what Jan was ., dying for his principles while defending his young teenage freinds 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 .

A sad loss of an anti-stereotype skinhead. There's still an expectation that skinheads will be racist thugs.

Much more going on in CEE than hits the global news

Jan Kucera - Victim of Czech neo-nazis

Neo-Nazi charged in fatal stabbing
20-year-old neo-Nazi has been charged in the murder last week of teenage anti-fascist activist in P?íbram, central Bohemia.

Local daily Príbramsky deník reported that the suspect, wearing a Wehrmacht army uniform, stabbed 18-year-old Jan Kucera on 18 January, one day before far-right groups planned a march in nearby Plzen. According to witnesses, Kucera was attacked after confronting a group of extremists after they gave the Nazi salute in a Príbram restaurant.

my own thoughts....
The issue of the far right in central and eastern europe is a complex one - but things are getting worse. here in Budapest an Ultra-Nationalist 'Magyar Garda' has been formed with 600 public and uniformed members and often march down the streets of downtown Budapest unopposed. Last week they marched in the 8th district to protest 'Gypsy Criminality.'

I worry that this story (above) could be repeated here in the future. Someday I will write a story about all the crazy shit happening in Hungary these days - but, to be frank, it is hard to know where to start in explaining all the madness.

I think Kucera's family message to anti-fascist activists is quite appropriate :
'The Honza family would like to appeal to everyone who feels anger and need of revenge on the neo-nazis, don't lower yourself to their subtle and primitive level of thinking and acting.'

Maybe this will shut up the "freedom of speech" elite in UCD who would love to give LePen a platform to spew his hate.
No platform for fascists!
End of.
Rest in Peace Jan
