Ex-Klan chief freed after arrest in Prague

PRAGUE (AFP) – A former US Ku Klux Klan chief arrested here on a speaking tour was freed during the night but will be forced to leave the country later Saturday, Czech police said.

David Duke, the former Grand Wizard of the Louisiana-founded Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, arrived in Prague on Friday at the invitation of a local far-right group, Narodni Odpor (National Resistance).

The 59-year-old US citizen had been due to give three lectures in Prague and Brno in the east of the country and present the Czech translation of his 1998 book "My Awakening."

He was arrested Friday afternoon in the Black Eagle restaurant in Prague's old town and questioned for several hours on suspicion of promoting movements seeking the suppression of human rights, police said.

His book contains passages denying the Holocaust, a crime punishable by up to three years in prison in the Czech republic, police spokesman Jan Mikulovsky said.

Duke's lawyer was quoted by the Czech news agency CTK as saying she would lodge a complaint against Prague police.

The Ku Klux Klan is notorious the world over for terrorising black Americans through lynchings, cross burnings and other hate crimes.

It enjoyed a peak membership of about five million in 1925, but since the late 1970s its membership has dwindled to between 3,000 and 6,000.
