Over three hundred protest outside Russian Embassy about fighting in Georgia

Over three hundred people protested outside the Russian Embassy in Prague on Tuesday in reaction to Moscow’s decision to launch military operations in Georgia. The protesters, mostly Georgians living in Prague, said they were also demonstrating about the Russian press’s portrayal of the clashes. On Tuesday morning, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev ordered an end to Russian military operations in the region. He said that security had been restored for civilians living in the breakaway Georgian regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
