BRATISLAVA (Reuters) - Thousands of Slovaks protested in the capital and other cities on Friday after new revelations from the investigation into a journalist's killing in 2018, although turnout was down on last year's demonstrations.

Protesters filled the capital Bratislava weekly following the February 2018 murder of investigative reporter Jan Kuciak and his fiancee Martina Kusnirova at home, amid mounting anger over corruption.
