NASA Delays The James Webb Space Telescope Launch Again

Jan Palach's grave at Prague's Olsany cemetery

Jan Palach's grave at Prague's Olsany cemetery (on the January 10, 2019, photo) became a symbol of resistance against the occupiers and so it was guarded by secret police officers to prevent people from approaching it. In 1974, Palach's remains were exhumed and moved to the family grave at cemetery in his home town of Vsetaty, central Bohemia, Czech Republic. Nonetheless, there were many who defied the authorities and placed flowers on his grave in Vsetaty, and at the statue of St. Wenceslas on the anniversary of the event. Palach's remains were returned to the Olsany cemetery in 1990, after the collapse of the Communist rule in the country. 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/Roman Vondrous)
