One Detained Protester Released In Budapest, Five To Go To Court After Sunday’s Internet -Tax Demo
One of the six protesters detained at Sunday’s demonstration against the government’s planned internet tax has been released while the others will go to court on Wednesday, the chief public prosecutor’s spokesperson said. Bettina Bagoly said on Tuesday that in the case of one detainee, a man aged 26, the prosecutor’s office found that his involvement in criminal activities could not be proven and he was therefore set free.

The other five persons, accused of disorderly behaviour, will face fast-track court proceedings on Wednesday, she said.

After Sunday’s demonstration, some of the protesters pelted stones at the ruling Fidesz party headquarters in Lendvay Street, breaking windows, damaging the blinds and bringing down a section of the fence.
