Images of 2007: The best shots of our photographers
On 1 January 2007, the Czech minority living in Banát, Romania entered the EU. Fifty-two years old Jan Hána from a village Bígr didn't live long enough to see it, though. He passed out two days before the Christmas Eve.
A master of placing people to psychiatric centers, that's what the Czech Republic is. Anna Giňová and František Adames decided otherwise, though. After decades spent in mental asylums, they are now living together in their own flat.
"BODIES...The Exhibition" was travelling around the globe and finally came to the Czech capital. The Interkoncerts Agency rented the Lucerna Grand Hall for six months in 2007 in order to display dead bodies of Chinese men and women. For 350 CZK (13 euro) a visitor could inspect what a human body looks like on the inside. This somewhat controversial exhibition met with expectations as well as opposition.
Upper photo: 1 May 2007, Brno - Members and supporters of a far-right organization Národní odpor (National Resistance) met in Brno, South Moravia in order to hold a Mayday march. First, the police forces ordered them to disband but all in vain. Eventually, they used smoke bombs and water cannons to disperse the crowd.  Lower photo: 10 November 2007, Prague - The extreme right was to march yet again, this time through the Prague's Jewish Quarter - on the anniversary of the Kristallnacht, an anti-Jewish pogrom in Nazi Germany. Determined to bar their march at any cost, hundreds of anarchists held a disallowed march and eventually clashed with police. The very center of Prague witnessed running battles with petard explosions and smoke bombs. Nearly three hundred anarchists were arrested. Ironically enough, the very biggest scare of that day, Neo-Nazis, were practically denied to enter the capital. Zobrazit 11 fotografií
