Czech
Republic: Secret neo-Nazi concert in Prague cancelled
Prague, 19.1.2014 20:41, (ROMEA)
The organizer of yesterday's secret concert by neo-Nazi
bands Summer Heroes and Violence Station at Prague's Na Slamníku restaurant
ultimately cancelled the event before it even began. Police expected
approximately 100 people to attend, but only 50 showed up.
There were about 80 officers on the scene to intervene.
"Detectives had information that a concert would be taking place here by
bands whose members have neo-Nazi tendencies.
According to our internal
information, about 100 members of that potentially dangerous group were going
to attend the concert. In the end only 50 made it to the venue. Officers asked
all of them for their identification before they went into the restaurant and
researched whether they had police records, primarily to prevent criminal
activity," police spokesperson Hana Jeřábková said.
The organizer then cancelled the concert before it
could start, evidently because of the preventative police measures. Officers
did not have to address any disturbances of public order or any other illegal
behavior by those in attendance; as news server Romea.cz reported yesterday, last night's event
was the second neo-Nazi concert in Prague to be cancelled by organizers in one
week.
