Jan Palach memorial
A memorial dedicated to Jan Palach, a young student who was self-immolated in January 1969 in protest against the occupation of Soviet armies in Czechoslovakia, was inaugurated near the square bearing his name in downtown Prague. The composition of two metal statues is the work of the American sculptor of Czech origin John Hejduk.
