Speakers at memorial at Hlávka Dormitory highlight importance of education

On Monday’s memorial gathering at the Hlávka Dormitory in Prague, speakers emphasized the importance of education. They pointed out that educated people do not succumb to disinformation and are capable of critical thinking and engaging in dialogue. The event was also attended by the chairman of the SPD movement and the Chamber of Deputies, Tomio Okamura, who told reporters that, in his view, freedom is being restricted in the Czech Republic. Okamura had previously announced that he would not go to the memorial on Národní Street, but besides the one at the Hlávka Dormitory, he would also visit the memorial at the Ruzyně Barracks.
