a german neo-nazi Their march was banned. Than the ban was lifted. Than it was banned again. When they tried to break through police cordons in Prague, they got beaten by the special police. The speaker of the group with a small pack got into Prague centre and got beaten up by the anarchists. We are talking about Czech neo-nazis, who, despite the general public standing against them, still don’t give up.

The march in Prague took place on 10th November, and there is a new demonstration planned in Pilsen, Czech Republic, the date is 19th January 2008. Again, there is an international support probably coming, anyone can publicly read on a German right-wing radical forum, where they invite all the ‘free, social and national’ friends.

As with the case of march in Prague, the Jewish community plans to gather at Grand Synagogue. Police prepared an emergency scenario for the occasion.

Village discotheque at the Czech Republic countryside got distraction one night, when a Czech man, aged 30, had made sex with his ex-girl-friend, aged 40, both being really drunk.

The case got publicity, when the woman first testified she couldn’t defend herself, as she was ‘totally drunk’. The case could develop as a case of rape, however, the court decided that their action was only breach of the peace, as they used to be a couple, and also because when the police came, she ‘ did not behave as any victim of a crime and laughed.’

The witnesses reported the visitors at the disco encouraged them, and some filmed the action by their mobile phones. When the man saw he is being filmed, he took belt from his pants and lashed some of them.
