Charges against former Ku-klux-klan leader dropped in Prague

The state attorney for Prague 1 has dropped all charges against former Ku-klux-klan leader David Duke, his lawyer in the Czech Republic, Klára Slámová, said on Tuesday. Mr Duke was arrested on a visit to Prague in April and charged with denying the Holocaust. Following his departure from the Czech Republic, police brought further charges against Mr Duke, this time on grounds of inciting behaviour which infringed other people’s human rights. On Tuesday, his lawyer Ms Slámová said that all investigation into Mr Duke had been stopped. Ms Slámová added that the charges were dropped as there was not enough evidence to substantiate any of the claims.
