Plzeň mayor breaks up far-right march

The mayor of Plzeň’s third district ordered that a march of far-right radicals be broken up, only a few minutes after it started on Saturday afternoon. He said the gathering was against the law because some participants were wearing clothing that exhibited imagery and slogans which may be illegal and propagate the suppression of human rights. Some 200 right-wing extremists attended the march, which they said was a show of support to imprisoned members of the movement. A group of roughly fifty anarchists protested the far-right radicals’ gathering. Hundreds of police officers were on duty.
