Two arrested for wearing fascist symbols during march

Police arrested two people for wearing fascist symbols during a far-right march in the central Bohemian town of Neratovice on Saturday. Around 100 extremists took part in the march, which was organised by a group called National Corporativism. They said they were protesting against damage to the environment. The event was monitored by 300 policemen. Interior Ministry official Michal Mazel said Czech extremists were now holding public demonstrations, using the right of assembly, rather than private meetings. He said this reflected the trend in western Europe.
