Pro- and anti-migrant demonstrations scheduled for Saturday

Activists opposed to the current wave of migrants crossing into Europe as well as anti-Islam groups have called a demonstration on Prague’s Wenceslas Square on Saturday at almost the same time as others who support helping migrants and providing them with aid and asylum. An initiative called Bikers Against Islam will see bikers ride through part of the city, in their words to honour victims of radical Islam. Not far away, supporters of an initiative against xenophobia are expected to gather in defense of migrants’ rights. Around 2,000 people have confirmed their participation on Facebook.
