Anti-Roma Riot in Litvínov-Janov

Hundreds of far-right extremists attempted to storm a predominantly Roma housing estate in Litvínov-Janov following Workers’ Party rallies. Violent clashes erupted, with police preventing the mob from reaching the settlement. The riot intensified ethnic tensions in northern Bohemia and prompted greater governmental focus on countering organised neo-Nazism.
