Right-wing extremists to demonstrate near minority rights building

The far-right, non-Parliamentary National Party has revealed plans to hold a demonstration near the Centre for Ethnic Minorities in Prague (Dům národnostních menšin) on March 22nd, a day after the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. The extremist party registered the demonstration at Prague City Hall as "a protest against positive discrimination”. No more than fifty people are expected to take part. City councillor Jiří Janeček said on Friday that the nearby centre will be closed on the day, to avoid any kind of clash between demonstrators and observers.
