#Czech #Police arrest man with #Nazi #swastika tatoo at anti-Goverment demo where #Russian national anthem was played – #LockHimUp

Detectives in Prague arrested a man with a Nazi swastika tattoo at a demonstration against the Czech Government and in favor of Russia that was held on Malostranské náměstí yesterday by self-described “patriots” who brought Russian flags, attacked the European Union and refugees from Ukraine in their speeches, and criticized the Czech Government for its support of Ukraine. The protesters shouted calls for the Czech supply of weapons to the Army of Ukraine to end, as they are aiding that country with facing up to Russia’s aggression. Demonstrators also called on the Czech Government to resign. Some protesters waved Russian flags and expressed support for Russian President Vladimir Putin. At one moment a recording of the Russian national anthem was played, followed by the music of a Czech band called Ortel, known for its xenophobia. “Our numbers are not small,” declared one protesting woman, according to news server Novinky.cz.    “This republic is going to hell. People succumbed to COVIDism and now they are succumbing to Ukrainianization,” she said. (…) That person was also wearing a t-shirt reading “Combat 44”. The number 44, among members of the extreme right, is code for the abbreviation of the Nazi Schutzstaffel (SS) units, while “Combat” refers to a famous neo-Nazi organization.  Police officers took the arrested man to the station and charged him with felony display of sympathy for a movement aiming to suppress human rights and freedoms, for which he faces up to three years in prison if convicted.
