Summary/Abstract: This paper contains an interview with Lubomír Müller. It discusses the work of Lubomír Müller, a lawyer dedicated to representing victims of totalitarian regimes and their families. Müller has been involved in numerous cases, including those of RAF pilot Josef Bryks and Leopold Hilsner, seeking justice for past injustices. He has also worked on rehabilitating individuals wrongfully convicted during the communist era in Czechoslovakia. Müller's efforts have led to significant legal precedents, such as the recognition of the principle "ne bis in idem" (not twice for the same) in Czech courts. His work highlights the importance of addressing historical wrongs to prevent new injustices. The article also touches on Müller's personal background and his motivation for pursuing these cases. Through his legal battles, Müller aims to restore the dignity and rights of those who suffered under totalitarian regimes.
