Prague filled with protests against planned US military base during Obama's visit

Several happenings and demonstrations took place today in Prague during the visit of US President Barack Obama. Humanists from the Nonviolence movement staged protests against the planned deployment of US troops on Czech soil as part of the "Star wars" plan.

Already yesterday activists displayed a banner on one of Prague's bridges. Today, events included the marchthrough the city of "The Invisibles" and a human-made message "No Star Wars" painted on naked bodies of several male and female activists. 090405-humanists-obama-2.jpg

"The Invisibles are more than 70% of the Czech population who do not want the military radar base. The Invisibles are the 99% of the worldwide population that does not want wars and aspires to peace," 
said Jan Tamas, spokesman of the movement.

The Invisibles - people in white uniforms and white masks - then marched through the city to the Congress Center where the EU-US summit was taking place.

The Nonviolence Movement formed from the activity of a group of Czech
humanists in December 2007. It aims to non-violently oppose the US
missile defense base planned to be installed in the Czech Republic. The
movement gained wider recognition with the hunger strike of two of its
members Jan Tamas and Jan Bednar in May 2008, the following sequential
hunger strike with more than 300 participants, as well as several
international conferences focused on the topic of US Missile Defense and
disarmament.
