I found what I have been looking for
Vladimír Špirk was born on March 7, 1947, in Brno. He spent his whole childhood with his family in Holice, located in eastern Bohemia. They used to live in the former villa house of Dr. Machnik. He was trained as a chemist. During the 1970s, he was introduced to the teaching of the Jehovah‘s Witnesses by a colleague of his. Following his beliefs, he refused to attend the second army exercise. Thus, he was sentenced to serve sixteen days in prison. As such, he ended up in the Prague-Ruzyně jail, where he worked at the front desk - accepting new prisoners - and also met with Václav Havel, Ota Ornest, Jiří Lederer, and František Pavlíček there. Upon release, he started to work at the Chvaletice power plant. He has been living in Přelouč since 1978 and remains active within the ranks of the Jehovah‘s Witnesses.
