The letter protests the trial and tries to put the case of the defendants to the head of the Czech state media. Some minor tears and wear but again a primary document relating the trial of the rock band and clear proof of the central role played by Nemec and Haval in supporting the band in advance of setting up Charter 77.
Two small hand written corrections in blue ink.

Earlier that year before a planned rock  festival, Czech police arrested 22 band members, colleagues and fans in Ceske Budewece in 1976 (and questioning many, many, more usually juat because of their long hair) and eventually prosecuted the key members of the band in a trial that horrified the artistic and literary circles  in the Czech republic.
Those intellectuals (initially Havel and Nemec and a few others) responded by publicising the trial and seeking international pressure to stop the outrageous prosecution of the defendants. Four of the group were jailed at the end of the trail (gaining sentences of between 8 months and a year and half  - already having been detained for 8 months each pending the start of the trial - and the supporters of the band continued their campaign eventually setting up Charter 77.
Presumably written for distribution to supporters and to the  press this is a detailed eyewitness report on the trial of the group (only 5 supporters of the band were allowed to attend - mostly wives of the accused - despite the fact that 10 seats allocated for the public were left empty during the trial.) Very good condition with minor edge wear and soft folds.
