(CNN) -- Four Czech neo-Nazis were sentenced Wednesday to long prison terms and steep fines for an arson attack on the house of a Roma, or Gypsy, family, which nearly killed a 2-year-old girl, the national news agency reported.
David Vaculik, Ivo Mueller, Jaromir Lukes and Vaclav Cojocaru were found guilty of throwing Molotov cocktails at the house in April 2009, in an attack to mark Adolf Hitler's birthday, the Czech News Agency reported.
Vaculik, Mueller and Lukes each were sentenced to 22 years in a high-security prison. Cojocaru got 20 years.
They were also ordered to pay more than 17 million Czech crowns ($968,000) in medical treatment and compensation.
All four men filed an appeal immediately, the agency reported.
The Ostrava Regional Court in the northeast of the Czech Republic found them guilty of attempted murder and damage to property.
Natalka Kudrikova, who was 2 years old at the time of the attack, lost 80 percent of her skin and two fingers (a third was later amputated) and spent months lying in an induced coma after the attack last year in Vitkov, in the Czech Republic.
