Press: former KKK head could return if case goes to court

Former Ku Klux Klan head David Duke will reportedly return to the Czech Republic if his case goes to trial, the Czech media have reported. A Czech associate of Mr Duke’s, linked to the far-right extremist movement, said that he had been in contact with the former Klan leader, saying he was prepared to return to defend himself. David Duke was arrested in Prague last Friday on the suspicion of supporting movements aimed at suppressing human rights. Czech police questioned him for seven hours and recommended he be held in custody; but he was released and ordered to leave the country following a decision by the state prosecutor.
