According to Cimbala, the number of convicts is final, no one is being prosecuted by criminal investigators in this case. In addition, in addition to the conditions, we also receive a fine or will now be checked by probation officers.
But no one needs to go to jail for a demonstration.
“The acts they committed were classified as a crime of violence against an official committed with weapons in conjunction with the crime of rioting. One of these persons developed a legal qualification only as a rioting committed repeatedly in one-act concurrently with the damage to other things, “said Cimbala.
About two thousand people demonstrated against government anti-coronavirus measures in the Old Town Square last October. After the protest, some of them attacked the police. And it is because of this violence that the courts have punished 12 people. More than a hundred others were fined for the offense.
The event was convened by the Civic Dissatisfaction Movement and after exceeding the maximum number of participants, the City of Prague terminated it. 20 police officers were injured and over 100 participants were detained.
The battles between the participants and the security forces were pushed into the side streets by heavy police officers, using firecrackers, tear gas, handlers and water cannons.
