People in Prague and Brno protest against Norwegian Child Protection Service

Some 300 people have gathered at Prague's Hradčanské náměstí to protest against the practices of Norwegian Child Protection Service Barnevern and in support of families, whose children have been taken away. After the gathering, the participants marched to the seat of the Norwegian embassy at Malá Strana. Similar protests are taking place on Saturday in over ten European cities, including Brno, Dublin and Vienna. Czech Eva Michaláková, whose sons were taken away from her over alleged sexual abuse in 2011, is set to take part in the main protests in Oslo.
