Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka condemned on Sunday an attack on Prague's social center for refugees and homeless people.

PRAGUE (Sputnik) — On Saturday night, a group of unidentified people wearing masks threw rocks and Molotov cocktails at the center. More than 20 people were in the building at the moment of the attack, one of them was injured and hospitalized.

"Violence is unacceptable in democracy. I condemn the attack with Molotov cocktails on the social center 'Clinic' and firmly believe that police will rapidly find those who carried it out," Sobotka wrote on his Facebook page.

"Násilí je v demokracii nepřijatelné. Odsuzuji žhářský útok na sociální centrum Klinika a pevně věřím, že policie brzy vypátrá jeho pachatele." — Bohuslav Sobotka
