GREENS National Council head for the Green Party Dalibor Stráský resigned from the position Nov. 25, citing internal party strife over political power prompted by the opening of the education minister post. Former Minister Dana Kuchtová resigned Sept. 25.

PARENTS A Brno court ruled that parents’ wishes prevail over doctors’ orders when it comes to treating their children, Mladá fronta Dnes reported Nov. 27. Until last week’s decision, it had been unclear who had the authority to decide on medical treatment for children. Judge Ivana Losová cited foreign experiences in her decision.
BAN The Supreme Administrative Court ruled that Prague City Hall erred when it banned a No to Bases demonstration planned for Sept. 11, 2006, a court spokeswoman said Nov. 26. City officials had said that the march would disrupt traffic, an objection the court deemed insufficient. The banned protest took place anyway.
BIRTHS Czech zoos registered two notable births in the past week. On Nov. 23 and 24, a polar bear gave birth to two cubs. The bear’s previous cubs died after she failed to care for them. On Nov. 26, the zoo in Dvůr Králové nad Labem, in east Bohemia, saw the birth of a black rhinoceros, an endangered species.

It also found that women were more likely to commit the act due to mental disease, while men were more likely to do so because of conflicts at home, work or school. The Czech Statistical Office released the figures last week.
