Hungary and Rroma

Hungary highest court overturned a lower court judgement that had ruled in favour of the plaintiffs in a case of harassement of the Rroma minority. The case was filed by the Hungarian Civil Liberties Union against the police of the Heves County, arguing that during the events in Gyöngöspata where extreme right militants manifested in the middle of a Rroma quarter, the police violated the Rroma’s civil rights by not preventing this march.
