Organiser of banned far right march wins right to hold demonstration

The organiser of a neo-Nazi march banned in Plžen has won a court case against the mayor of the west Bohemian city. The Plžen Regional Court ruled on Friday that reasons given by Mayor Pavel Rodl for stopping the demonstration did not meet the set criteria for such a ban. Far-right activist Václav Bureš is now free to organise another march within 30 days of receiving notice of the court decision. The one he called in January was timed to coincide with the anniversary of the first transport of Jews from in Plžen 1942.
