Police have accused 18 people in connection with an attack on participants of an anti-fascism rally in Frýdek-Místek. Prosecutors said 11 of the accused are adults aged 19 to 39, while seven are minors. Several rally-goers were injured during the incident, and two were taken to hospital with fractures to their jaw, cheekbones and nose. All 18 are facing charges for public disorder. Some of the accused are also charged with causing bodily harm and with violence against a group of people and against an individual. The case dates back to 19 September last year, when the attack happened in Sady Bedřicha Smetany while a march organised by the group Děti smetí passed through. Masked young people attacked the rally participants and then fled. Police said they arrested seven people at the scene. Investigators later spent more than a year working on the case, using informants to identify the suspects and ultimately accuse them. Authorities allege the attackers had planned the attack in advance, because they disagreed with the anarchists’ march against fascism. According to police, adults face up to five years in prison, while minors face half that maximum. The accused have been charged, with the investigation work completed enough for prosecution to move forward.
