The Czech Republic's president Milos Zeman marks the 26th anniversary of the Velvet Revolution by addressing a rally of his supporters organized by an anti-Muslim group.
Thousands attended the rally organised by anti-Muslim group 'Bloc against Islam'. The migrant crisis and Friday's attacks in Paris have stirred anti-Islam sentiment and attracted people to rallies in Prague. The Czech leader is well known for his anti-Islam rhetoric and addresses the crowd.
More than 750,000 migrants are thought to have arrived in Europe by see this year, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
Only a small number of asylum applications have been made in the Czech Republic compared to other European countries.
