Argumentation of a Czech criminal court in a case concerning anarchism

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This paper is based on an analysis of a court case of the Municipal Court in Prague of 2016, when an anarchist activist of Russian origin and a student of Charles University in Prague was sentenced to two years of expulsion from the territory of the Czech Republic. The crime was supporting and encouraging others in spraying anarchist slogans onto a prison wall. I analyse the court judgement from the viewpoint of the disciplines of critical discourse analysis and sociolegal research. I work within the framework of the discourse historical approach and identify the argumentation strategies employed by the judge in the written text of the verdict. It is concluded that the sentence of punishment might have been influenced by another accusation dealt with by the court. Shevtsov was also suspected of throwing a Molotov onto the family house of the Czech Minister of Defence, but he was acquitted of this charge. The simultaneous dealing with the two charges has probably discursively reinforced the view on the accused as guilty of both crimes.
