Demonstration in support of Czech mother whose sons are in foster care in Norway

Several dozen people on Tuesday demonstrated in support of a Czech mother who had her two young sons taken away by the Norwegian authorities in 2011 on suspicion of sexual abuse. Although this was later disproven in court, the two children remain in foster care in Norway. The mother appealed to the European Court of Human Rights but failed to win them back. The Czech minister of labour and social affairs, Michaela Marksová says she has requested an explanation from her Norwegian counterpart. The case has also received attention and support from the head of the Our Children Fund and newly elected senator Zuzana Baudysová.
