Event commemorating victims of tragic shooting takes place in Prague

A commemorative event to honour the memory of the victims of the tragic shooting at the Faculty of Arts took place in Prague on Thursday.

The event, organised by the faculty’s Student Council, started at 1 p.m. in front of the Carolinum building on Ovocný trh. From there, a silent procession led to the faculty’s main building on Jan Palach Square, where the tragic incident happened exactly two weeks ago.

The participants briefly stopped in Celetná Street, where they observed a minute of silence in memory of the victims. The programme ended with the participants forming a human chain around the faculty building.
