For those wondering, the riot police still attacked them in the end. But the Velvet Revolution eventually succeeded in overthrowing the government through sustained civil resistance and strikes.

Huge surprise there. Pigs fucking hate nonviolent protesters; here in Finland a bunch of Extinction Rebellion folks got tear gassed and beaten by cops just for funsies
