PRAGUE, Czech Republic, July 30 (UPI) -- An 80-year-old Czech woman was accused of being a prosecutor at the death-penalty trial of an anti-communist activist in 1950, Prague Radio said.
Former prosecutor Ludmila Brozova-Polednova has been charged with the "judicial murder" of Milada Horakova, an anti-communist politician who was executed by the Czech communist regime in 1950, the radio said.
If convicted Brozova-Polednova could face up to 15 years in jail for complicity to murder.
Horakova was arrested in 1949 when communists took over the power. She was charged with high treason and espionage and sentenced to death in a show trial, the radio said. She was the only woman executed in the former Czechoslovakia on political grounds.
