Anti-radar protests in Prague

Ahead of the US president’s arrival, some 300 opponents of the plan to site a US tracking radar on Czech territory held a protest gathering on Prague’s Palach Square and the Legionaries’ Bridge on Saturday, unfurling a banner that read “Yes, we can - say no to the radar”. More demonstrations are expected on Sunday. Opinion polls suggest that the majority of Czechs are against the idea of hosting a US radar on Czech soil.
