Anarchist antiwar demo in Prague, February 22.03, 300 people
22.02.03 Antiwar demo organized by CSAF
Around 300 people demonstrated in Prague today at an anti-war
demonstration organized by CSAF (The Czech
and Slovak Anarchist Federation). There were several speeches, including
commentary on the recently popular newspeak term 'anti-Americanism' used
to divide European states into pro- or anti-American, as well as the
American government's earlier support of Sadam's regime, and the massive
civilian casualties caused by bombs and sanctions in Iraq during the
reign of Bushes and Clinton. After the speeches, demonstrators marched
to Wenceslas Square shouting slogans including "No War, No Government,"
"No Blood for Oil," and "Bush is a Terrorist."
During the march a
suspicious figure who was reported to be a nazi-skin was seen walking on
the sidewalk next to the police accompanying the march, however no
incident was provoked. After another speech on Wenceslas Square (the
cameras snapping the usual dozens of pictures of photogenic anarchists)
the march continued to Old Town Square (where several kids with big
mohawks were caught by a group of tourists for a group photo:). The
procession then marched across the bridge and through Mala strana to the
American Embassy. The demonstration ended without incident around 5pm.
