Prague

This very large street demonstration was met with brutal force by the police officers. Being corralled into small streets and being boxed in by lines of policemen the students were systematically beaten. One of the largest mistakes for the regime, like we have covered in the other instances of student lead demonstrations is that attacking the students only hardens the resolve of the parents to fight the injustice.

Among the singing of the national anthem and songs of a happier time, they chanted, “Those who control the horse, control the square!” The communist regime looked through their windows to see banners demanding they leave. The voices of hundreds of thousands of people heralding their exit from office. I could feel the goose bumps of victory, watching news reels…
