A Czech prison guard has been given a two-year suspended sentence after being convicted of inhumane and cruel treatment of an inmate. Jiří Kubík, 62, stationed at a prison in Vykmanov, deployed a taser multiple times against a prisoner feigning illness. The assault included at least one strike to the inmate’s genitals, in addition to four strikes to the chest. The Plzeň Regional Court delivered the verdict on Tuesday, deeming the guard’s actions unacceptable. The ruling has been finalized and is legally binding. The incident highlights concerns regarding excessive force and abuse of power within the Czech correctional system. Kubík’s actions were specifically characterized by the court as deliberately cruel and degrading.
