Czechoslovak State Security Investigation 1953

pause

By Order of the Minister of the Interior No.8/1962 The Penal Code is the basic regulation for the investigation procedure. We emphasise that the new Penal Code sets out in particular the following principles: - in particular, the Leninist principle, according to which the means of state coercion and means of persuasion and education must be combined in the fight against crime, shall apply. Stronger measures introduced by the Criminal Code are addressed only where the educational activities of society are not sufficient. In the course of criminal proceedings, it is therefore always necessary to pay careful attention to whether it is necessary to bring the perpetrators to justice and whether there are no grounds for the case to be dealt with before the local people's court, the body of the national committee or by other means of social educational activity (…) By order of the Minister of the Interior No. 4/1964 Building an advanced socialist society implies further deepening of socialist democracy and the consolidation of socialist legitimacy. The review of political trials in the years 1949–1954 has revealed serious violations of socialist law in the investigative parts of the Ministry of the Interior and inadequate ful-filment of duties by other law enforcement bodies.
