Police say only FAMU incident with Tibetan flag regarded as breach of rules during Chinese visit

An internal investigation by police of their actions during the visit of Chinese President Xi JinPing at the end of March found that they only made a mistake when two officers demanded that Tibetan flags be removed from the windows of Prague’s film and television academy FAMU, according to a report released Thursday. Police said they received 27 submissions from the public of which three were taken as complaints against them. In none of the other cases were there grounds for further action. Police said they looked into a series of incidents on one of the main roads leading into Prague where there were clashes between pro-China and pro-Tibet supporters and also into the demand that a Tibetan flag be taken down from near the Hilton Hotel, where the Chinese president was staying for part of the visit. The two police officers who visited FAMU are now subject to disciplinary measures.
