The Czech prosecute political views

[Morsberger, Grace]

I am hardly in favor of censorship! But the laws in Europe, particularly in
Germany, are different from those in the US with regard to publishing
anything connected with the Third Reich and/or that might incite hate
crimes. No one seems to have commented on the fact that these alleged acts
of censorship on the part of the Czech government are in response to
far-right hate groups that appear to be inciting further violence. Comments,
anyone?
