Ukrainian flags hung on fence by Okamura’s house

Someone hung Ukrainian flags on the fence of the house of Tomio Okamura (SPD), the Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies. The flags were also painted or spray-painted on sidewalks, steps, poles, and bins. The incident is being investigated by the police, Prague police spokesman Jan Daněk confirmed to ČTK. After his recent election as Speaker, Okamura had the Ukrainian flag removed from the Chamber of Deputies building. The ČTK newsroom today received an email from a group calling itself the Velvet Remembrancers. The group claimed responsibility for the act and said it wanted to express dissatisfaction with the behavior of the country’s leaders. Okamura criticized the act.
