Summary/Abstract: Ivan Dejmal was kept under surveillance by secret police as of November 1976, i.e. after his release from prison. A detailed plan of his day-long surveillance was worked out by State Security (StB) in December 1977, providing for Dejmal’s systematic checks by Czechoslovak police bodies. He was watched on every step, the persons who came in contact with him were registered, and he was arrested and summoned for interrogation without any legal grounds from time to time. Dejmal’s surveillance kept busy a number of StB agents, several cars, and it even involved the use of disguise and hidden cameras. The surveillance was not carried out constantly but in certain waves in 1978, in February 1978, in the spring of 1980, etc. The last record on Dejmal’s surveillance comes from May 1985, when the action was carried out under the cover name of „Lecture“.
