Police expect hundreds of extremists may try to march

Police say they expect hundreds of right-wing extremists from both the Czech Republic and abroad, to descend on Prague on Saturday, November 10th - the anniversary of the Nazi pogrom Kristallnacht which targeted Jews in Germany in 1938. Right-wing radicals have said they plan on going ahead with a march through the city's Jewish quarter, despite a ban by the city. City Hall has already made clear it will break up any unauthorised demonstration on the spot. Some 1,400 police officers will be out in force on Saturday for that reason, as well as to try and prevent potential clashes between right-wing protestors and opposition groups. The latter have promised to block the neo-Nazis' path.
