Plzeň police prosecute three men who publicly shouted Neo-Nazi slogans

Plzeň police are prosecuting a group of three men, who were seen giving the Hitler salute at a bar late on Saturday night. The three men, aged 29, 40 and 44, were shouting Neo-Nazi slogans propagating the suppression of human rights, which is considered an illegal act in the Czech Republic. One of the three verbally attacked a woman who was in the bar, and later punched her in the ear. It is not clear yet if the three perpetrators were participants in a far-right extremist march that took place in Plzeň earlier on Saturday. Local police arrested a total of six participants, who were wearing clothing with illegal imagery and slogans.
