Jan Zajic commemorated

And Sunday marks another anniversary. Thirty-eight years ago Jan Zajic, a 19-year old student, set himself on fire on Prague's Wenceslas Square in protest at the 1968 Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia. The self-immolation followed that of Jan Palach, who had set himself on fire a month earlier. In a letter, Jan Zajic explained he had to follow Jan Palach's cause in order to stir public conscience and make it act against the Communist dictatorship.
