The civic No Bases Initiative (Ne Zakladnam) jointly with the convener Vaclav Novotny call on the Municipality of Prague to cooperate with  the convener of the meeting to be held at Hradcanske namesti from 8am to 10pm on April 5, 2009. We are taking this step because of reasonable suspicion that this duly announced and not-prohibited meeting could be disturbed by another meeting to be held at the same place, the latter having not been announced as required by the law. Holding two meetings at the same date, time, and place, is ruled out according to the Law on the Right of Assembly 84/1990 Sb. as amended by later legislation.

According to the above Law §10 para 2b, it is the duty of the Municipality of Prague and the police to facilitate holding any duly announced meeting, and prevent its disruption by individuals or groups of individuals.

We believe that the Municipality of Prague will follow the Law and ensure the exercise, by the convener of, and participants in the meeting, of all their basic civic and political rights as stipulated in the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms.
