birthplace of Jan Palach, reconstruction, rebuilding to the memorial

In the birthplace of student Jan Palach in Vsetaty, Czech Republic, on August 20, 2019, continue works on the memorial, which will be opened on the last weekend of September. 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/Michaela Rihova)
