Students - demonstration - march - police - crackdown
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 demonstrators were stopped at Narodni (National) Street in downtown by a cordon of riot police which blocked all escape routes and beat the students. The banner reads Nonviolence.
