Pro-life rally and counter-protest take place in Prague

The annual March for Life, organised by Czechia's largest pro-life activist group Hnutí pro život (Movement for Life), took place in Prague on Saturday afternoon, with an estimated several hundred people attending. Cardinal Dominik Duka thanked the participants at the start of the rally for their courage and said it was a demonstration of true freedom and democracy.

Counter-protestors also gathered and blocked the procession from crossing Legion Bridge, causing the police to divert the direction of the march. Two counter-protestors tied themselves to ropes and suspended themselves from Legion Bridge.
