Squat Milada was one of the Czech Republic's best known squats, located in the Libeň district of Prague. Milada was intended to be demolished in the 1980s and thus deleted from the Land Registry, becoming a house which officially did not exist. The squat was occupied in 1997, evicted in 2009, then reoccupied for a day in 2012. Whilst it acted as a social centre and infoshop hosting concerts and events, Milada was also home to a number of people.\
Occupation
Milada is located in the Libeň district of Prague, next to blocks of flats housing university students.
Left derelict in 1988, Milada was occupied in 1997, along with the neighbouring villa, Miluška. The self-managed social centre was used as an infoshop, a bicycle repair workshop, a cafe, a meeting space and a venue for punk gigs and experimental music. In October 1998, the police attempted to evict the building but were repelled, with squatters remaining on the roof for several days. Originally occupied as a "Point of Free Culture and Resistance", the project quickly changed to a new community.
Milada became one of most well-known squats in the Czech Republic, alongside Ladronka and Klinika. In March 2009, the building was re-registered by the owner the Institute for Information in Education (ÚIV), as a first step before selling it.
Eviction
The eviction in 2009 became a controversial story in the mainstream media. The house was then briefly reoccupied a week later amid fears that it would be demolished.
Post-eviction
After the eviction, Michael Kocáb (Minister for Human Rights and Minorities) offered the squatters a place to stay at Truhlářská Street in the Old Town.
A party at Milada to mark three years since the eviction was broken up by the police on June 30, 2012. A helicopter and 100 police arrested 25 people for various offences. In 2015, there was a debate in the media as the Supreme Administrative Court considered an appeal regarding the legality of the eviction of Milada.
Charles University had planned to set up a small campus at Milada, but failed to transfer the ownership of the building from the Institute for Information in Education in 2010. After the eviction, the university tried again, without success.
