Three months’ imprisonment was the sentence passed by the court to-day on several Czecho-Slovakian Fascists for hanging up a sine outside the public baths in Prague reading: “Jews and Germans are prohibited from entering these baths”.
In pronouncing sentence, the court stated that the hanging up of such a sign is against the law, which provides protection for national minorities in Czecho-Slovakia. It is a breach of the Constitution of our Republic and an insult to certain nationalities in our country, the court said.
