'저는 그들의 땅을 지키기 위하여 싸웠던 인디안들의 이야기를 기억합니다. 백인들이 그들의 신성한 숲에 도로를 만들기 위하여 나무들을 잘랐습니다. 매일밤 인디안들이 나가서 백인들이 만든 그 길을 해체하면 그 다음 날 백인들이 와서 도로를 다시 짓곤 했습니다. 한동안 그 것이 반복되었습니다. 그러던 어느날, 숲에서 가장 큰 나무가 백인들이 일할 동안 그들 머리 위로 떨어져 말과 마차들을 파괴하고 그들 중 몇몇을 죽였습니다. 그러자 백인들은 떠났고 결코 다시 오지 않았습니다….' (브루스 개그논)

Prague bans demonstration on day of Obama's visit

Prague - The Prague Town Hall has banned a rally of opponents of the
construction of a U.S. radar base on Czech soil that was to take place on April
5 when U.S. President Barack Obama will be staying in the city, the town hall
says in a statement sent to CTK.

The Town Hall justifies the ban by possible complications in car and public
transport.

Jan Palach Square in which the demonstration was to be held will be closed over
Obama's visit.

It is speculated that the square might be the place at which Obama will make his
planned European speech.
....
The Town Hall said it also took into consideration the police information about
massive security measures to accompany Obama's visit. They are also to be taken
in Jan Palach Square.

City clerks proposed to the organiser to move the demonstration to another
place, but he has not reacted.

The clerks say the organiser has also announced a similar meeting in Wenceslas
Square.

Obama will arrive in Prague on Saturday, April 4, and will leave on Sunday,
April 5. His programme includes talks with the heads of 27 EU states. The Czech
Republic is EU president in the first half of the year.

Obama is also expected to meet former Czech president Vaclav Havel and make a
sightseeing tour of Prague.

The Czech Republic and the United States signed last year two treaties on the
radar base that is to be stationed some 90km southwest of Prague.

The base together with ten interceptor missiles in Poland are to be European
elements of the U.S. anti-missile shield....

The radar base is rejected by more than two thirds of Czechs and support in the
Chamber of Deputies is not sure either.

Several demonstrations have been announced in Prague on the days of Obama's
visit.

Under law town halls have the right to ban a rally at places where participants
would face a serious danger, or where it would seriously restrict transport and
supplies.
