Thousands of Czechs bid farewell to Jan Palach’s coffin

Thousands filed past the closed coffin of Jan Palach in Prague as a mass memorial formed at Charles University. Crowds near Zizkov and Wenceslas Square watched a sobbing youth read from a Bible and a rough old man mourned loudly. Palach, 21, set himself on fire January 16 to protest the Soviet invasion, dying three days later. The coffin would be displayed through Saturday morning before a large memorial and private funeral services planned for Saturday afternoon. Student leaders warned against violence and urged calm as up to 400000 students were expected in Prague. The gathering followed the 1968 reform mood and the chorus of calls for socialism with a human face.
