Final farewell to actor Pavel Landovský held in Prague

Family, friends and members of the public bid final farewell to actor and former dissident Pavel Landovský at Prague’s St Ignatius church on Friday. He died last Friday at the age of 78. A popular stage and film actor, Landovský opposed the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia and signed the human rights manifesto Charter 77. In 1980, he left for Austria and only returned to Prague after the fall of communism. He last appeared in the 2012 film Bastards 3.
