Petr Uhl (8 October 1941, Prague) is a Czech journalist and politician, former dissident and member of the Fourth International, and from 1990 to 1992 a member of the Federal Assembly of Czechoslovakia.

Petr Uhl was born on 8 October 1941 in Prague which was then part of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia (now Czechia). He finished an eleven-year high school in Prague-Vinohrady in 1958, graduated as a mechanical engineer from the Czech Technical University (ČVUT) in 1963 and worked as a designer, patent clerk and high school teacher in mechanical engineering. From 1968 to 1969 he was part of the student movement and formed the Revolutionary Youth Movement (Hnutí revoluční mládeže, HRM) counting about a hundred young people, mostly students, among active participants. He was sentenced to four years for his nonviolent activity in HRM against "normalisation" and imprisoned from December 1969 to December 1973. The trial with HRM members was one of the first and largest show trials in the country after 1968.

In December 1976, he co-founded the Charter 77 (Charta 77) and in April 1978, the Committee for the Defense of the Unjustly Prosecuted (Výbor na obranu nespravedlivě stíhaných, VONS). He was sentenced to five years in prison and imprisoned from May 1979 to May 1984. After his release, he continued to work in Charter 77 and VONS, as well as in the Czechoslovak-Polish Solidarity, the Czechoslovak Helsinki Committee and the Memorial (the Czechoslovak branch of the Soviet independent association). In 1978-1979 and 1984-1989 he was the editor-in-chief of Informace o Chartě 77 [Charter 77 Information, Infoch] and in 1988-1989 the editor of the independent East European Information Agency (Východoevropská informační agentura, VIA), headquartered at the Serwis informacyjny Solidarności in Warsaw.

In the years 1974-1977 he worked as a designer, 1978-1979 an engineer and 1984-1989 as a stoker in Metrostav.

In the late 1989 he joined the Civic Forum (Občanské fórum) and was elected a member of the Federal Assembly of Czechoslovakia in June 1990 (until June 1992) where he also served as a member of the Defense and Security Committee.

He was also a member of the Fourth International 1984-1991, the radical leftist organisation Left Alternative (Levá alternativa, 1989-1992) and the Civic Movement (Občanské hnutí, 1991-1992).

From February 1990 to September 1992, he was the general director of Czechoslovak Press Offices (ČTK), from 1992-1994 a contributing and later publishing editor of ČTK. In the years 1994-1996 he was the editor-in-chief of the bi-monthly Listy, from 1996-1998 an editor of the Právo daily.

After succeeding in a constitutional dispute over Czech citizenship at the Czech Constitutional Court (in 1993 he chose Slovak in addition to his Czech citizenship), in 1997 he began cooperating with the Czech Social Democratic Party (ČSSD, as a non-member) on its programme and from September 1998 to February 2001 he served as Plenipotentiary of the Government of the Czech Republic for Human Rights, the Chairman of the Council for Nationalities, the Human Rights Council and the Interministerial Commission for Roma Community Affairs, as well as the Deputy Prime Minister for Legislation and Human Rights. In January 2001, after the election of his wife Anna Šabatová as Ombudsman by the Chamber of Deputies, he resigned from these functions.

From March 2001 to April 2006, he worked as a commentator for Právo, focusing on the protection of human rights, minorities, prisons, Czech-German relations and environmental issues. In May 2003, at the proposal of the Czech Film and Television Association FITES, he was elected by the Chamber of Deputies as a member of the (15-member) Council of Czech Television (RČT) for a term of six years which he finished in May 2009. RČT is a public control body over national television.

From 1991 to 2001, he was an expert at the United Nations Commission on Human Rights (Geneva) as a member of the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention. He was a member from March 2001 and, from the early 2002, chairman of the Committee against Torture and Other Cruel, Degrading Treatment or Punishment, which is a subsidiary body of the Government Council for Human Rights.

In the spring of 2004, he was appointed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic as a member of the Board of the EUMC - Monitoring Center for Racism and Xenophobia, a body of the European Commission in Vienna, where he represented the country.

From the late 2004, he was a member of the Commission for the Environment of the Prague 2 City Council.

On the proposal of the Government Commissioner for Human Rights, Svatopluk Karásek, the government appointed Petr Uhl as a member of its Human Rights Council in April 2006. At the end of 1998, Uhl prepared the establishment of this advisory body as a government representative. In the committee, he dealt mainly with prisons.

In November 2002, he joined the Green Party (Strana zelených) and ran for the Chamber of Deputies in Prague in 2006. He left the party in January 2007.

He actively opposed, for example, the placement of American military radar and the establishment of a military base on Czech territory, the neoliberal policies of the governments of Mirek Topolánek and Petr Nečas, discrimination against minorities, etc. He continues to work as a journalist, writing commentaries for periodicals.

He has been married to politician, former dissident and Charter 77 signatory Anna Šabatová since 1974. They have three children, attorney Pavel Uhl (1975), anthropologist and journalist Saša Uhlová (1977) and social anthropologist and politician Michal Uhl (1985).

State awards: Czech Republic 1998, Poland 2000, Germany 2001, France 2002. In November 2002, the Austrian Reporters Without Borders section awarded him the Prize for Freedom of the Press for his life's work. In April 2006, he was honoured with the French Knight of the National Order of Merit award. In May 2008 he was awarded the Europäischer Karlspreis der Sudetendeutschen Landsmannschaft.
