Everything about Josef Urv Lek totally explained
JUDr
Josef Urválek (1910-1979) was a
procurator and later
judge of the Czechoslovak state court. He is known for his participation in the political processes in socialist
Czechoslovakia during the 1950s. In a number of
show trials, he was responsible for securing the death sentences of
Milada Horáková and of 14 communist functionaries, including
Rudolf Slánský, on trumped-up charges of
treason.
When
cross-examining the accused, he'd frequently interrupt them, make intolerant remarks, and compare them to insects and the worst human waste. At Slánský's trial, he said in his final speech "I demand the death sentence for all accused. Let justice smash like an iron fist, without the slightest pity. Let it be the fire that'll burn out this nest of enemies."
After the trails he rose within the party ranks, being made leader of the highest court in 1957. He retired from this post in 1963 to join the
Výzkumný Ústav Kriminalistiky in the general prosecution. He died in 1979.
