7 November 2005. Reuters Founders Share Company Appoints New Board Member

London – Reuters Founders Share Company has appointed Jiri Dienstbier, former Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister of Czechoslovakia, to its board with immediate effect. Dienstbier, 68, worked for Czechoslovak Broadcasting from 1958 to 1969 but was dismissed from his position in 1970 by the “normalization” regime after the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. With severe restrictions on press freedom, Dienstbier published and edited many clandestine journals between 1969 and 1989 and wrote for the foreign press on domestic and foreign policy issues. He was a member of Czech dissident group Charter 77 and in 1979 he was imprisoned for three years for being a member of the Committee for the Defence of the Unjustly Persecuted, another dissident group closely associated with Charter 77.

Following the fall of the Communist government in 1989, Dienstbier was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister for the new Czech pro-democracy coalition. He served in both posts until 1992. He was co-founder of Lidove Noviny, originally an underground newspaper that began publishing openly in January 1990.

Jiri Dienstbier was a United Nations Special Rapporteur on human rights in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Republic of Croatia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, a post he held from 1998 to 2001. Pehr Gyllenhammar, Chairman of Reuters Founders Share Company, said, “I’m extremely pleased Jiri Dienstbier has agreed to join the board of Reuters Founders Share Company. He is a man of considerable standing in the international community and brings a wealth of experience from the world of journalism. He truly understands the importance of Reuters commitment to independence, integrity and freedom from bias, which Reuters Founders Share Company was established to protect.” Jiri Dienstbier joins an eminent board of Reuters Founders Share Company. The members are Pehr Gyllenhammar (Chairman); Len Berkowitz; The Hon Mrs Anson Chan GBM CBE JP; Sir Michael Checkland; Uffe Ellemann-Jensen; Jacques de Larosière de Champfeu KBE; Sir Christopher Mallaby GCMG GCVO; Mammen Mathew; John H McArthur; The Rt Hon The Baroness Noakes, DBE; Sir William Purves CBE DSO; Jaakko Rauramo; Dr Mark Wössner; Dr Frene Ginwala; Joseph Lelyweld; Bertrand Collomb and John Fairfax. Toyoo Gyohten has retired as a board member.
