Procedural mistake confirmed, but neo-Nazi march should not take place

The Supreme Administrative Court on Monday rejected Prague City Hall's complaint against the verdict of the Prague City Court which abrogated the City Hall's ban on a march by right-wing extremists through the Jewish quarter on November 10th. The Supreme Administrative Court agreed with the Prague City Court in that the City Hall had made procedural mistakes in justifying the ban. However it appears that the march will not take place anyway since the City Hall invalidated the request on other grounds. The planned march scheduled for the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the 1938 pogrom on Jews, sparked a wave of protests both in the Czech Republic and abroad. The City Hall has said it is determined to prevent it taking place.
