Slovak anger over death of reporter

Tens of thousands of Slovaks rallied in massive anti-government protests across the country to demand a thorough investigation of the killings of an investigative reporter and his fiancee, and changes in government.

The protesters packed a central square in Bratislava and other rallies were taking place in dozens of other places in Slovakia as well as abroad, the biggest since the 1989 Velvet Revolution. The organisers want foreign experts to join the team investigating the killings and the creation of “a new trustworthy government with no people who are suspected of corruption”.
