PRAGUE, Czech Republic (AP) -- Nine people have been arrested after at
environmental protest in Prague that ended in looting and clashes with
police, officials said today. <P>
Police broke up a crowd of 2,000 stone-throwing youths Saturday in what
began as peaceful gathering protesting the impact multinational
corporations have on the environment. Twenty-two police officers were
injured. <P>
A judge ruled today the nine young people, who were charged with
hooliganism and attacking public officials, would remain in custody
during the investigation, said police spokeswoman Eva Brozova. They face
up to three years in prison if convicted. <P>
The mob of protesters had overturned a police car, looted several shops
and damaged two fast-food restaurants. Police initially detained 64
people, but released most of them Sunday. <P>
The Czech Movement for Civic Solidarity and Tolerance, HOST, said police
broke the law in violently breaking up the demonstration and denying
detainees the use of toilets and water, the CTK news agency reported.
<P>
Some environmental organizations, including the Czech branch of
Greenpeace, condemned the violent protest. <P>
The Czechoslovak Anarchist Federation, the U.S.-based radical
environmental group Earth First, and the Moscow-based Rainbow Keepers
were among those organizing the demonstration. <P>
