Thousands Take to Prague Streets to Protest New Czech Television Director

Inside, scores of journalists have been sleeping in the station since Christmas Eve to prevent management from seizing the station. They fear that the new appointment and the banning of key staff members from the premises will compromise the political independence of the station.
