The 17 November 1989 students organised a peaceful demonstration in Prague, which was to trigger the Velvet Revolution. However things were touch and go on this very first day of protests as demonstrators on one of the town’s main roads found themselves being hemmed in by the police. Exits were shut off and armoured vehicles started herding the protestors, mostly students, together. Hana Bošková and Jiří Hollan met in the crowd, standing shoulder to shoulder in uncertainty as riot police moved in.
