“Symbol of help for refugees” attacked in Prague

Source: Radio Prague

On Saturday evening, hours after anti-Islamic demonstrations in Prague, around 20 masked men attacked a social centre in the city that organises collections for refugees. The assailants threw petrol bombs and stones in an incident that has been condemned by politicians.

Anti-Muslim demonstrations were held in Prague on Saturday afternoon in a series of protests across Europe. Clashes occurred in some parts of the city, with masked men appearing to be neo-Nazis throwing missiles at refugees’ rights activists.

At about 7:30 in the evening, an estimated 20 masked men attacked Klinika, a former squat in the Prague 3 area that among other activities collects clothing and other materials for refugees.

The police said they threw stones and Molotov cocktails at the “autonomous centre”, injuring one person slightly.
A member of the group that runs Klinika who was inside at the time, Tadeáš Polák, described the damage shortly afterwards.

But these fascists are really tiny compared to the bad old days of the 30s. Any fascist rally is dwarfed by anti fascist counter demonstrators. You're right about Putin. He's only concerned with feathering his own nest and divide and rule is an effective tactic.

None of us are sure about what to do in Syria, when the uprisings against Assad started it was all so simple.

The real problem is the Islamophobia in America. That's what started the war in Iraq and everything that followed. The last thing the world needs is a Republican president starting another ill thought out crusade.

Those do not belong attached this way in Latest News.

Might even be against TOS?
