"Czech author Josef Skvorecky, who took a stand against communist authorities in his native country by publishing banned works, has died aged 87.
His wife Zdena Salivarova told the Czech CTK news agency that he passed away on Tuesday in Toronto, Canada.
The writer fled there after the 1968 Soviet-led invasion and founded an agency that published books by dissident authors such as Vaclav Havel."
