The police caught two Czechs shortly after the attack and placed them in pre-trial detention.&nbsp;The court sentenced them to 26 months in prison, so they had already served most of their sentences.&nbsp;The court sentenced the third man in absentia to 30 months and issued an arrest warrant for organizing a targeted and planned attack.&nbsp;Le Monde reported the week-old verdict today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aun Neko, a critic of the Thai army and king and a transgender woman, spent time in Paris with her friends, and in several cases also political refugees from Thailand, when she was attacked by a pair of big muscular men with hoods.&nbsp;Musician Nitchivat Vannasiri also reaped the blows and tried to help her.&nbsp;The assailants fled, the assailants called the police, and Neko&#8217;s friend pursued them.&nbsp;A few minutes later, police arrested both attackers as they tried to steal the scooter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The investigation showed that the attack was pre-planned and most likely committed to order.&nbsp;Convicted Czechs Jakub Ho\u0161ek (26 years old) and Daniel Vok\u00e1l (28 years old) are both dedicated to mixed martial arts MMA.&nbsp;According to the police, their trip was organized and bought by a third Czech, Petr Don\u00e1tek, the founder of a martial arts school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u00e1tek refuses to take part in the attack, claiming that he was just a tourist.&nbsp;Ho\u0161ek confessed to the investigators, he had received 50,000 crowns for the attack, and according to him, Don\u00e1tek had filmed the attack as evidence, writes Le Monde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to information from Czech Radio, Don\u00e1tek tried to find his friends, who allegedly arranged boxing matches in Paris, after the attack, but without success.&nbsp;The first information appeared after three days, when he was on his way back to his homeland,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irozhlas.cz\/zpravy-svet\/francie-cesko-pariz-donatek-napadeni-aktivistka-vezeni_2112020955_til\">writes<\/a>&nbsp;the iRozhlas server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I can confirm that this man (Don\u00e1tek) was detained on the basis of a European arrest warrant, on 5.10.&nbsp;2020. However, the court did not comply with our request for pre-trial detention at that time and the handover procedure was conducted at large, &#8220;said Kate\u0159ina Rendlov\u00e1, spokeswoman for the Police Presidium, for Czech Radio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Neko, the attack on her was ordered directly by Bangkok for her criticism of the king and the army.&nbsp;In the past, a young woman has received numerous threats on social networks.&nbsp;Criticism of the monarchy is a crime in Thailand, so Neko fled across Laos to France after the coup in 2014, where she received political asylum in 2015.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A court in Paris convicted three Czechs of attacking Thai political refugee Aun Neko in a Paris cafe in November 2019.
