Czech neo-Nazis not to march through Prague's Jewish quarter

The Prague Town Hall has not allowed the neo-Nazi march through Prague's Jewish quarter which was announced to take place on 17th November, because the date and the venue has been already booked by the Jewish Liberal Union. The neo-Nazis would have to choose a different route for their march.

The march was originally scheduled to take place on 10th November. That day marks the anniversary of the Kristallnacht, the Nazi-inspired pogrom on Jews that took place in Germany and Austria in 1938. It has been granted permission by Prague City Hall, whose officials claimed they couldn't ban it as it was officially announced as a protest against the Czech mission in Iraq.
