Czechs Protest US Missile Shield Base
-------------------------------------



While President Obama spoke in Prague, over 1,000 protesters gathered
nearby to condemn US plans to build a missile shield system in the Czech
Republic and Poland. Protesters included Jan Majicek of the No Bases
Initiative.

Jan Majicek: “We are here to tell Barack Obama, who is now in Prague,
that 70 percent of Czechs are against this plan and that we don’t want a
foreign military base here in the Czech Republic.”
