Two Social Democrat MPs visit Greenpeace protestors at proposed radar site

Protesters illegally camped out in the closed military area in the region of Brdy, destined to become the site of a US radar base have been visited by two Czech MPs. The MPs from the opposition Social Democrats Josef Řihák and Jan Hamáček entered the closed area, despite the fact that the latter lacked the required paperwork to legally be allowed to visit the area. The MPs stated that the visit was both to evaluate the area and to lend their support to the protesters. Greenpeace activists have been at the site since Monday, demonstrating against the building of the US radar base in this relatively pristine area of Czech wilderness.
