Town Hall files complaint in effort to stop far-right march through Jewish Quarter

Prague Town Hall has filed a complaint against a decision by a Prague court to overturn the Town Hall's banning of a march by a far-right group through the city's Jewish Quarter. The demonstration is due to due to take place on the November 10 anniversary of the notorious Kristallnacht Nazi pogrom of 1938.

Czech President Vaclav Klaus has described the march as politically and morally unacceptable, and called on the Prague authorities to prevent it taking place.

Meanwhile, the city's Jewish community is planning to oppose it by holding a memorial to the victims of Kristallnacht in the Jewish Quarter at the same time as the far-right event.
