University will not publish names of shooting victims, faculty closed until further notice

In agreement with the police, Charles University is not going to make the names of the victims of Thursday's shooting incident public, out of respect for their families and to protect the victims' personal data, the school has announced.

It also stated that the Faculty of Arts building will remain closed until further notice and that the Charles University leadership wants to actively participate in discussions about the university's future security strategy. The school said it will continue to provide organisational, material and psychological support and try to ensure a peaceful return to academia for all those affected.

Students and teachers who left their personal belongings in the Faculty of Arts as they were evacuated from the building after the shooting will next be able to collect them at the nearby Faculty of Law on Wednesday, December 27, between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. In case of questions, people should contact Charles University's Central Crisis Staff line on 224 491 530.
