Czech Republic: Shame on Czech Government not able to stop right-wing attackers torching refugee center in Prague

Shame on the Czech Republic

Czech police say unknown attackers have set a refugee center on fire in the Czech capital of Prague, injuring one person.

Spokeswoman Iveta Martinkova says about 20 people attacked the Klinika center in Prague's No. 3 district with Molotov cocktails Saturday about 7:30 p.m. She says it's not clear who was behind the attack and police are investigating.

The attack took place just hours after thousands of people rallied in Prague against Muslims and immigration.

This kind of behavior is not only barbaric, it is criminal  and Czech Government should be reprimanded by EU for not able to protect refugees safety properly.
