Czech court acquits five anarchists of extremism charges

A district court on Monday acquitted five Czech anarchists of charges of support for extremism and found Lukas Borl, who founded the Revolutionary Cells Network group, guilty of forging his identity and damaging a prison wall, but did not punish him. The Revolutionary Cells Network claimed responsibility for several attacks on a Prague restaurant and for setting police cars on fire. The group said the restaurant owner owed money to his current and former employees. The defence lawyer of the anarchists told journalists he would file an appeal on behalf of all his five clients as he did not agree with how the court assessed the evidence.
