Around 15 centimetres of snow fell on the ridges of the Krkonoše Mountains in the north of Czechia on Friday night. It was the first major snow of the season in the highest parts of the mountain range.
Strong winds on Saturday forced the closure of a cable car from the town of Pec pod Sněžkou to Sněžka, the country’s highest peak. While it was minus 2.2 degrees Celsius on Sněžka the gales meant that the “real feel” was minus 12 degrees Celsius.

A 35-year-old foreigner will not be prosecuted after putting up anti-Semitic signs in his kebab shop in Plzeň, following a decision of the State Prosecutor’s Office. The police had been investigating the Turkish man on suspicion of hate speech, but a local state prosecutor said there was no evidence of any crime.

The State Prosecutor’s Office has refused to reopen a case centred on Prague’s Olšansy cemeteries and the police have therefore shelved the matter, Czech Television reported. Lawyer Tomáš Nahodil petitioned for the case to be reopened this year, saying new evidence had come to light.
According to archival documents, an investigation into a case of alleged vandalism at the cemeteries was manipulated by the communist secret police in the 1980s. Three young men were convicted by judge Robert Fremr, who this year withdrew his candidacy for the Constitutional Court. One of the men was not even present when the alleged crime of damaging Russian and Bulgarian war graves took place.

Czech Egyptologists who have been working on a burial site in Abusir are reported to have discovered a richly decorated shaft tomb of the previously unknown dignitary Djehutiemhat, who served as a royal scribe, the Czech Institute of Egyptology reported. An anthropological analysis of the skeletal remains by leading Egyptian experts revealed, among other things, that Djehutiemhat died at a relatively young age of about 25 and suffered from severe osteoporosis. The discovery of the tomb, which was looted, is important for further understanding the history of ancient Egypt and its traditions, the Czech Institute of Egyptology said on its website.
