Hundreds of thousands of Czechs protest in Prague over media freedom

Hundreds of thousands of Czechs are rallying in Prague to protest against what they say is a government attempt to stifle media freedom. Organisers said an estimated 350,000 people had come out to join the protest at Letná Plain, which overlooks Prague’s historic centre.

Babiš, a billionaire who returned to power last year, said protesters were riling up the public with unfounded claims about threats to media freedom.
