- 26 Nov 2012 8:00 AM
Police have begun proceedings against six people following a clash with local Roma outside the Hatvan police station last Thursday. Police spokesman Bálint Soltész said an angry crowd gathered outside the station after police detained 12 people on suspicion of drug abuse.
Roma civil rights activist Aladár Horváth travelled to the scene to gather information.
The Civil Liberties Union said it will file a complaint, as police injured suspects and innocent pedestrians without justification.
