The abduction of Czechoslovak citizens in Angola took place on 12 March 1983 during Angolan Civil War.
[1] The rebel UNITA movement captured 66 Czechoslovak citizens, including women and children, in the Angolan town of Alto Catumbela, who were sent there with the task of restoring the operation of the local paper mill.
The kidnapped Czechoslovak citizens were subsequently forced to march towards the UNITA base in the south of the country, 1,300 kilometers away.
In addition to other authors, one of the direct participants, Lubomír Sazeček, described the activities of Czechoslovak workers and subsequent events in his books "Prisoners in Angola", from "Before UNITA came" to "After 25 years".
[4] 2009 Czech documentary Zajati v Angole (Captured in Angola) directed by Ján Mančuška chronicles events of the abduction.
