ARMENIAN JOURNALIST SUES RFE/RL IN PRAGUE OVER DISMISSAL
The daily Lidove noviny writes that Czech courts will probably deal with alleged discrimination against some employees at the US-funded Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty based in Prague. The paper refers to the case of Armenian reporter Anna Karapetian who says her dismissal from the radio after 12 years is invalid and has filed a lawsuit against her former employer. The paper says that those RFE/RL employees who do not come either from the United States or the Czech Republic find themselves in a legal limbo as regards their employees' rights.
While Czechs can rely on the Czech Labour Code, disputes with US employees are solved by the Washington-based Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. RFE/RL did not comment on the case.
