Wenceslas Square, 50th anniversary of Palach's death

The President of the Czech Senate Jaroslav Kubera (right) waits before he'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)
