Around 100 protest about clearing of Milada squat

Around 100 people gathered on Prague’s Palackého náměstí on Saturday to protest against the eviction of squatters from the capital’s Milada squat last week. On Tuesday, a private security firm contracted by the building’s owners threw squatters out with the help of the Czech police. Three policemen were injured in the process, and four squatters were arrested. Human Rights and Minorities Minister Michael Kocáb announced on Friday that he had found alternative accommodation for the evicted squatters, on Prague’s Truhlářská Street.
