Wenceslas Square, 50th anniversary of Palach's death

The President of the Czech Senate Jaroslav Kubera (from left), Senate Vice-President Miluse Horska and Civic Democratic Party Chairman Petr Fiala wait before they'll give a speech at a commemorative meeting organised by the Million Moments for Democracy initiative and Mene Tekel international project against totalitarianism for Jan Palach at Wenceslas Square in Prague, Czech Republic, on January 16, 2019. Palach, a student of the Charles University's Faculty of Arts, set himself on fire in Prague on January 16, 1969 in protest against people's growing lethargy following the August 21, 1968 Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia. He died of fatal burns three days later, aged 20. (CTK Photo/Tomas Tkacik)

              March to Hradcanske Square, demonstration, Million Moments for Democracy

              March to Hradcanske Square near Prague Castle, organised by Million Moments for Democracy to mark 50th anniversary of suppression of civic protests on the first anniversary of the Soviet-led occupation and highlight the current information war. The march route starts at Wenceslas Square and continue via Politickych veznu street, Old Town Square and Charles Bridge in Prague, Czech Republic, August 21, 2019. After the remembrance event at the central Wenceslas Square, attended by up to 5,000 people, the crowd set out for the Hradcanske Square near Prague Castle led by five costumed people who symbolised the victims of violence from 1969. On its way, it was joined by more and more people, Mikulas Minar (pictured), from the Million Moments, said. They brought the Czech constitution to Prague Castle, the seat of the president, to express their conviction that President Milos Zeman has repeatedly breached the constitution, for example by his refusal to appoint the candidate for culture minister proposed to him by the prime minister.
