http://www.euronews.net/ Tributes have been pouring in to Vaclav Havel, the dissident playwright who helped over throw Communism and became President of the Czech Republic, who died on Sunday morning. He was 75.




British Prime Minister, David Cameron spoke of the profound debt Europe owed Havel. German Chancellor, Angela Merkel praised his "commitment to freedom and democracy". For Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt, he was "one of the greatest Europeans of our age".




A black flag flew over the Parliament building in Prague and the country is expected to go into state mounring.

  • What an extraordinary contrast in the two world leaders who have died over the weekend.

    From the moral giant Vaclav Havel, who survived totalitarian jail and other persecution to lead his nation in a peaceful revolution for freedom; to the depraved Kim Jong Il, who terrorized and starved his own people to pursue nuclear weapons and missiles.

  • even here on youtube, lets hope that truth and love will prevail over lies and hate
