A 'Freetekno' Party was stopped during the weekend by a series brutal and irrational actions of the Czech Police. Around 6000 people were attacked by the riot cops while having a party. The Highway was blocked and people entering the Czech Republic were turned away at the border, discriminated against on the basis of their looks.
The party was legal action with approval of the property owner.
Police actions were convicted by many mainmedia journalists, inhabitans of the nearest villages, human rights organisations, politicians and even by the president of Czech Republic. read full story / add a comment
