Demonstrators demand release of "political prisoners"
Hundreds of demonstrators carrying Árpád striped and Hungarian flags marched from Kossuth tér to the Markó utca building of the Budapest Supreme Court Monday evening, demanding the release of what they call 'political prisoners,' reports hirszerzo.hu.
Hundreds took off to join the torchlight demonstration organized by the Movement for a Better Hungary (Jobbik Magyarországért Mozgalom) in Markó utca.
László Gonda, one of the leaders of the Hungarian National Committee 2006 (Magyar Nemzeti Bizottság 2006) declared: "Ferenc Gyurcsány and his government are responsible for all personal injuries, damages to property and anything more serious, and they have to pay for repairs."
