Eight members of a far-right group are cleared of charges

The Prague 1 District Court on Wednesday acquitted eight defendants on charges of promoting and organizing neo-Nazi events. The State Attorney immediately appealed the verdict and the case will now be tried in the Prague City Court. Seven men and one woman allegedly promoted the activities of the neo-Nazi group National Resistance and organized events such as marches and white power music concerts in Prague, Jihlava and in the Central Bohemian region. At least four of the defendants are former members of the banned far-right Workers’ Party.
