Young communists protest U.S. radar siting

Rally against the siting of U.S. radar in the Czech territory held by the Communist Youth Union in Ostrava on Saturday only attracted about ten passers-by. Despite the low attendance, the organizers plan to hold similar rallies in all Czech and Moravian towns. The Communist Youth Union has managed to collect more than 120 000 signatures for their petition protesting against a possible positioning of the radar, a part of U.S. anti-missile system, in the Czech Republic so far.
