Since the end of communism in 1989, many Czechs have marked the anniversary by expressing sympathy and support for Tibetan independence. City and town halls around the Czech Republic have also displayed the Tibetan flag on their buildings as part of a worldwide initiative called "Flag for Tibet". In 1996, when the "Flag for Tibet" initiative first started here, four city and town halls flew Tibet's flag - and this year two hundred of them did. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/tibet_vlajka.jpg?timestamp=1590256991 https://english.radio.cz/flag-tibet-day-marked-czech-republic-8071707 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
