This transcript captures an interview with Ladislav Hejdánek, who details his interrogations in 1977 concerning Charter 77. Hejdánek recounts the circumstances of his apprehension, including navigational errors during transport to Prague Ruzyně and subsequent dealings at the StB department. He emphasizes his strategy of refusing to testify and discusses legal defense options, debating with interrogating Lieutenant Colonel Kohl about the interpretation of law and "perjury." The conversation also touches upon the political climate of the time, repression against dissidents, and the hypocrisy of official propaganda. Hejdánek stresses a citizen's right to refuse testimony and protests the manner in which his documents (signed Charter 77) were investigated. He concludes by describing his departure and a seemingly friendly, yet tense, farewell with the interrogator.
