People attend a commemorative meeting organised by the Million Moments for Democracy initiative and Mene Tekel international project against totalitarianism at Wenceslas Square and lit up candles for Jan Palach at Jan Palach and Jan Zajic Memorial (front) at upper part of 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/Libor Sojka)
