Demonstration - Letna plain - Prague
A brutal police action against peaceful march of students in Prague on November 17, 1989, sparked the Velvet Revolution, a series of demonstrations that toppled the authoritarian Communist regime in Czechoslovakia. The number of participants in the regular anti-government demonstration at Letna plain in Prague reached an estimated 800, 000 people on November 25 and 26, 1989. A symbolic element of the demonstrations was the jingling of keys, to symbolize the unlocking of doors. CTK Photo
