Czech intelligence service detects fall in far-right extremist action

The Czech Republic’s counter intelligence service, the Security Information Service, says in a report that the activities of far right extremists has declined in the first three months of the year. Police interventions last year and the court decision to ban the extremist Workers’ Party this year appear to have undermined it. Far right movements currently appear fragmented, it added. The report said police action at the end of last year which targeted some radical far-right leaders has effectively put them out of circulation.
