Complaint filed after Slovakia police hinder pro-life protest
The Center for Bioethical Reform in Slovakia has filed a complaint with the Constitutional Court of the Slovak Republic alleging that the Slovak Ministry of the Interior and the Police Corps committed serious free speech violations against them.
According to the complaint, police in the city of Kosice on October 16 forced pro-life activists at the University of Kosice to remove the display of twelve large frame-mounted billboards, a press release from the Center for Bioethical Reform (CBR) Europe reports. The billboards showed aborted children juxtaposed with images of other genocides including the holocaust and the Soviet gulag.
The police, who threatened immediate confiscation of the billboards, reportedly outnumbered the activists three to one.
The display is part of the project Stop Genocide, which has toured Slovakian universities and music festivals since the summer. The exhibition reportedly had full municipal council permission at the time of the police action.
