Czech police have pressed charges against Tomio Okamura, the leader of the far-right Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD) party, for allegedly inciting racial hatred through his party's election posters. The campaign materials, which reportedly used AI-generated imagery, are accused of stoking anti-migrant and racist sentiments. Okamura and his party have been gaining popularity ahead of upcoming elections, raising concerns about the influence of far-right rhetoric in Czech politics. The proposed charges could lead to jail time for Okamura if he is convicted. The case has sparked debate over the limits of political speech and the rise of far-right movements in the country.
