Today I was walking in downtown Chicago and I saw his statue in front of the Adler Museum, but it learned he was a martyr, is this the same Karel Havlicek?

[edit] Certainly yes

It must be this Karel Havlíček, the statue was probably erected by Czech immigrants (one of them - Anton Cermak - was Chicago mayor). Havlíček was not a Christian martyr (he wrote a lot of anti-clerical epigrams) but he was considered to be a national martyr of the police system of Austria of that time (see Alexander Bach)
