Interview with Radim Gonda, vice-chairman of the KSM, Czech Republic, for JR8, Brasil:
1º. Could you, please, explain us briefly the proccess of banning carried out by the Czech government against KSM?

The KSM struggles against US military base in the Czech Republic.
The Communist Youth Union (KSM) in the Czech Republic has launched before parliamentary elections in summer 2006 as the first organization in the country a campaign against a plan to construct a US military missile base in the Czech Republic which should be a part of the missile defence system of the USA. Negotiations about this plan were started by the government of the USA and government of the Czech Republic led by social democratic party in secrecy several years before information about them were published thanks to MPs of the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia. The KSM subsequently started its struggle against this plan and was gradually joined by a number of organizations.

Dear Comrades,
We are sending you an English translation of the Decision of the Ministry of Interior of the Czech Republic on official dissolution of the Communist Youth Union (KSM) in the Czech Republic. The KSM has filed an action against this violation of fundanmental democratic rights which is a part of a huge anticommunist campaign in the Czech Republic. The conflict will continue in the court. The KSM is still expecting the reply of the court and beginning of the trial.

"According to the stipulation of § 12 par. 3 letter c) of Act no 83/1990 Coll., on association of citizens, in the version of later regulations (hereinafter referred to as "Act on association"), the Ministry of Interior hereby dissolves the civic association under the name Communist Youth Union based at Politických vězňů 9, 111 21, Praha 1."
