Police evict squatters from Cibulka

Police evicted around 20 squatters from well-known Prague ruins of an estate known as Cibulka in Prague 5 on Sunday morning, a police spokeswoman has revealed. Officers during the night checked IDs from among 50 individuals who were allegedly disturbing the peace. Police also questioned the organiser of a screening at the site which ended at around 10 pm and was apparently unrelated. The history of Cibulka dates all the way back to the 14th century, news website ČTK pointed out; one of the squatters evicted admitted Saturday was not the first night she had spent at the run-down site.
