Dozens of people attend pro-Palestinian demonstration in Prague

Dozens of people gathered on top of Prague's Wenceslas Square on Sunday afternoon to take part in a pro-Palestinian demonstration. The event is being monitored by dozens of police officers and municipal officials, who are ready to disperse it in the event of illegal speech or conflict.

The gathering, criticizing Israel’s retaliatory actions in the Gaza Strip following Hamas attack on the country, is organised by the civic initiative Not in Our Name! - Initiative for a Just Peace in the Middle East.

Following last weekend’s Hamas-led terrorist attacks on Israel, the Czech Interior Ministry has ordered increased security around the Israeli Embassy and other sites across Czechia as a precautionary measure.
