Law
of 24 January 1946
by approving, amending and supplementing the regulations on the punishment of Nazi criminals, traitors and their helpers and extraordinary people's courts.
The Provisional National Assembly of the Czechoslovak Republic decided on the following Act:
The Provisional National Assembly approves and reacts as a decree of the President of the Republic of 19 June 1945, No 16 Coll., on the punishment of Nazi criminals, traitors and their helpers, and on extraordinary folk courts with changes and additions in this law.
Paragraph 26 (2) and (3) shall read as follows:
"(2) The entire criminal proceedings shall normally take place from the beginning to the end before an extraordinary People's Court in the manner of the main trial, preferably without interruption and shall be terminated within three days of the defendant being brought before him. If the special People's Court has not reached a judgment within that time limit, it shall refer the case to the proper court (Paragraph 25 (2)). However, even after the expiry of that period, the proceedings before an extraordinary People's Court shall continue if the public prosecutor so requests.
(3) A public prosecutor shall have the rights and obligations of a public prosecutor in a preliminary search or in a preliminary investigation prior to a special court of the people. ';
Article 31 (2) and (3) shall read as follows:
"(2) The death penalty shall be carried out within two hours of the judgment being delivered. At the express request of the defendant, the period may be extended by an additional hour. If the trial is held in the absence of the defendant, the death penalty shall be executed within 24 hours of the arrest of the defendant. However, the execution of the death penalty shall be postponed for a reasonable period of time if the public prosecutor so requests from an important public interest.
(3) If the extraordinary People's Court recognises the death penalty against several persons, it will also determine the order in which the sentence is to be executed. He can also decide that the death penalty will be executed publicly. In particular, they do so when the crude way in which the crime was committed, or the perverse nature of the perpetrator, the number of his crimes or his position speaks for the public enforcement of the sentence. In this case, in order to ensure the public execution of the sentence, the court may extend the period of two hours (paragraph 2), but not more than 24 hours. '
The Minister of the Interior is hereby ordered to publish, as an annex to this Act, the full text of the Act cited in its regulation.
This Act shall take effect on the day of its publication; it shall be carried out by all members of the Government.
