English-Czech translations for witch-hunt

• hon na čarodějnice
  V Polsku bohužel proti opozici probíhá hon na čarodějnice, k němuž se připojily i soudy. In Poland, unfortunately, a witch-hunt is being conducted against the opposition, and the courts have joined in.
  To, že orgány zveřejnily fámy a spustily hon na čarodějnice, způsobilo obrovské škody, které ukazují na nedostatek odpovědnosti. These rumours and witch-hunts fuelled by those same authorities have caused enormous harm; they indicate a lack of responsibility.
  Neschvaluji tento hon na čarodějnice, jenž dnes opět někteří vedou proti těm, kteří se pokoušejí přistěhovalectví do Evropy omezit. I do not support the witch-hunt that is again today being led by some against those who are attempting to set boundaries for immigration in Europe.
