Mene Tekel, an annual festival against totalitarian regimes, kicks off in Prague on Monday. The theme of this year's 16th edition is solidarity and responsibility. The week-long event offers exhibitions, film screenings, book signings, interactive programs, debates and a concert. As in previous years, the event will close with a mass in memory of the victims of totalitarian regimes. This year it will take place at the Church of St. Ignac on Charles Square in Prague 2 on Sunday, October 23, starting at 2pm. The Mene Tekel festival was established in 2007.
