The November protest was the last in a series of events that took place that year and were violently suppressed by riot police. One of them was an illegal rally to commemorate the 71st anniversary of the foundation of Czechoslovakia on October 28th, 1989 held on Prague’s Wenceslas Square. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/28rijen1989.jpg?timestamp=1591317141 Anti-communist demonstration violently suppressed twenty years ago in Prague, just three weeks before Velvet Revolution https://english.radio.cz/anti-communist-demonstration-violently-suppressed-twenty-years-ago-prague-just-8579761 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
