A sea of people filled Letná, in Prague, answering the call of Milion chvilek pro demokracii to defend public media and democratic standards. This mobilisation stands against the illiberal drift embodied by figures like Andrej Babiš, and in support of a pro-European, institutional path represented by President Petr Pavel. Across Europe, the message is clear: democracy is defended by citizens who refuse to stay silent.

Remembering Chester Bennington, born on this day in 1976. As the voice of Linkin Park, he helped define 2000s rock with songs like “In the End,” “Numb,” and “Crawling,” while also leaving his mark through Dead by Sunrise, Grey Daze, and Stone Temple Pilots.
What are your thoughts on his legacy?

19-year-old champion wrestler Saleh Mohammadi executed by Iran in a public hanging.
Mohammadi, Mehdi Ghasemi, and Saeed Davoudi were executed as part of Iran's brutal crackdown on protests.
According to human rights groups, Mohammadi was tortured to confess "to the capital crime of waging war against God."
"His execution was a blatant political murder, part of the Islamic Republic’s pattern of targeting athletes to crush dissent and terrorize society," said human rights activist Nima Far.
The protesters were accused by the regime of killing two police officers with knives and swords. They "fast-tracked proceedings that bore no resemblance to a meaningful trial," Amnesty International said.
RIP.

"Mr. Nobody Against Putin" is a gripping look at the Kremlin's pro-war propaganda in the heart of Russia, told by a brave teacher who surreptitiously filmed his school and then escaped to let the world know. Deservedly the best documentary of the year. nytimes.com/live/2026/03/1…

Georgia is facing one of the most serious democratic crises in its recent history. The ruling Georgian Dream party has pushed measures targeting opposition forces while advancing education reforms that undermine university autonomy, cancel respected academic programmes and single out Ilia State University – the only openly critical public university. Students, academics and citizens are now protesting together in Tbilisi. They are defending academic freedom and democratic rights — and we stand with them.

Sedam dana nakon promocije singla „Slušaj ’vamo“ – a bez dobijene dozvole MUP-a za održavanje skupa – 8. marta 1992. Rimtutituki je održao „koncert na kamionu“, prvi takve vrste u Beogradu.
Okupljanje je počelo kod SKC-a besplatnim deljenjem singlice, nakon čega je kamion na kojem su svirali Cane, Anton, Borko, Gile, Čavke, Jovec, Švaba i Milan – praćen rastućom kolonom ljudi – vozio preko Slavije do Trga Republike.
Akcija je planirana gerilski, te je tako i izvedena - uz iznajmljivanje kamiona, agregata i nabavku goriva koje je bilo teško dostupno.
Željko Drašković (B92): „Usred koncerta, usred vožnje, nestalo je „čorbe“... Loše smo sve proračunali, ovaj što nam je dao agregat nije nam rekao koliko to čudo troši na sat. Dok smo mi pokušavali da nađemo benzin, oni su blejali na tom kamionu. Milan Mladenović i Gile su pokušali sa akustičnom gitarom da sviraju i drali su se.“
Zoran Kostić Cane: „Kad je nestalo benzina, videlo se kolika je Milan zvezda. ’Milane, Milane!’ Kad su stotine i stotine klinki pored svih nas samo od njega tražile autogram, a on je bio u fazonu: ’Ne!’ Ja mu kažem: ’Ma daj, Mićko...’. On je jedini od svih nas bio dobar đak.“
Mihajlo Pantić: „...Kamion, na kojem se nalazila prava ekipa, zatrpan razglasom, kružio je trgom i proizvodio buku i gužvu. Mir, brate, mir, pevao je Cane, a Milan se priključivao iz drugog plana. Ljudi, svi Milanovi ljudi, nečujno prizvani iz svih delova grada skupljali su se polako i sa nevericom, svetla su se palila i najsumorniji beogradski trg postepeno je menjao svoj lik... Te večeri se nešto završilo, bilo bi suviše patetično da kažem kako je to bila naša mladost, u svakom slučaju, bio je to poslednji pokušaj da se nešto promeni u zemlji u kojoj se ništa stvarno ne može promeniti, mirno, pameću, tihim glasom.“
Nekoliko nedelja kasnije, nakon koncerta na Bečkom Heldenplacu na kojem su nastupili pred 70.000 ljudi, Milan priča: „Ne možemo očekivati da pesma može da promeni ljude. Ali, možemo pokazati da nisu svi iz Srbije za Miloševića, i samim tim za rat.“ (preneo ’Die Tageszeitung’, 1992.)
