Czech Republic: Anti-racism activists protesting in Prague June 30

Event

Anti-racism activists are protesting at Palacky Square (Palackeho Namesti) in Prague on June 30. The purpose of the action, which began at 18:00, is to denounce alleged police discrimination towards the Roma community in the Czech Republic following the police-involved death of an individual on June 19.

Additional police will likely deploy to monitor the action. Crowds and associated security measures could prompt localized transport disruptions in the surrounding area. Isolated clashes between police and protesters cannot be ruled out.

Advice

Avoid the protest as a routine security precaution and to mitigate associated disruptions. Heed instructions from security forces and leave the area at the first sign of a confrontation. Allow extra time for travel in the affected area.
