How many times was Vaclav Havel under arrest and under what - presumably trumped up charges - was he indicted?
Upvote:3
I am not sure a total of arrests could be made short of writing a biography, but two particular cases can be found detailing charges.
The first case is discussed on a site here:
The regime couldn’t very well prosecute Havel for agreeing with it, so they officially charged him with smuggling documents out of Czechoslovakia that were published abroad – including, of course, the Charter 77 declaration.
The second case, and resulting in the longest imprisonment, is discussed in Making History: Czech Voices of Dissent and the Revolution of 1989 edited by Michael Long. This states that the charge was
'subversion of the Republic', according to Article 98 of the criminal code
This charge resulted in Havels sentencing for four and one-half years.
