Thirty-five years ago an opposition movement began in Czechoslovakia with a call for human rights.
More than 200 writers and intellectuals signed the original Charter - many of them were then arrested.
One of the leaders of the movement was Vaclav Havel, the playwright who went on to become President after the fall of communism.
