??? This article has not yet received a rating on the assessment scale.

This article really needs some more research. To be fair and balanced, the fact that the festival is always held under an air of illegality and non-transparency should be noted. Also, regarding this years incident, the owner of the field the rave was held in stated that he was lied to about the event and the number of people attending. This should also be included.

Not really, the police has said so (also that he denied his approval, and that it was for 150 people) but it wasn't true. Here's his testimony at the police station. http://www.policejnistat.cz/Informujeme/Clanky/PAROUBEK-LZE,-MAME-VIPOVEI-PANA-PLESKY-3.html

This is all fairly well documented on the Czech Wikipedia Czechtek pages (for example, however secrecy does surround Czechtek, there were only 3 out of 12 Czechteks on land without approval), maybe somebody could translate it..?

Also, about the last edit and the WC's - at least in 2003 and 2004 there were mobile toilets, look for pictures from Czechtek 2003/4. This year, the WC's were on the way and there's even statement from the WC company confirming this, but the police has blocked them (as well as many other cars going to Czechtek). On the other hand, there probably wasn't tens of the WCs like on commercial multi-day festivals like Czech Love Planet. Then again, most people go to Czechtek for first 1-2 days only, so there's not that much need to.. Ahem. :-)

PS Probably in 2002 there were WC's too: http://zpravy.idnes.cz/nazory.asp?r=nazory&c=A020730_162106_nazory_slu
