GREENS In an effort to calm the mounting tensions within her party, Kateřina Jacques resigned June 16 as head of the Green Party’s six-member caucus in Parliament. However, two disgruntled Green deputies, Olga Zubová and Věra Jakoubková, said the move still may not prevent them from leaving the group, the daily Právo reported.

ČUNEK Prague detectives accused a key witness in the corruption case against Deputy Prime Minister Jiří Čunek of giving false testimony, the Czech News Agency (ČTK) reported June 16. The witness, Čunek’s former secretary Marcela Urbanová, triggered the prosecution by accusing him of accepting a bribe, but Čunek was cleared of these charges earlier this year.
TERRORISM Speaking at the Euro-Mediterranean partnership conference in Prague, European Union Counter-Terrorism Coordinator Giles de Kerchove urged nations June 16 not to violate human rights when fighting against terrorism, ČTK reported. The statement comes one year after a Council of Europe report that revealed secret CIA detention facilities were in operation in both Poland and Romania.
TASER In a June 16 operation, Czech criminal police used a Taser for the first time, ČTK reported. Detectives used the controversial electroshock device while arresting a 38-year-old who they believed could have been armed, in a Žižkov tenant house.
