Several thousand protesters have blocked a major thoroughfare in Hungary's capital, opposing a law that effectively bans LGBTQ+ Pride events and restricts the right to assembly
Thousands protested in Hungary's capital against a new law effectively banning LGBTQ+ Pride events and restricting assembly rights. The law, passed by the ruling party, allows authorities to use facial recognition and issue fines for attending prohibited events, drawing criticism from the UN and prompting vows from Pride organizers to proceed with planned events. The law is seen as reminiscent of similar restrictions in Russia.
