Anti-radar activists disturb commemorative gathering

In Prague, supporters and opponents of the radar took to the streets to voice their opinions on Monday. They clashed on several occasions and at Prague’s Národní třída they got into a verbal conflict with members of the public who came to pay their respects to the victims of communism. The two sides exchanged angry words when people asked the demonstrators to take their banners elsewhere and not to make use of the occasion for their own activities. The police eventually stepped in, asking demonstrators to keep at a distance from the memorial.
