Hungarian Court To Handle Internet Tax Protesters’ Case In Ordinary Proceedings
- 30 Oct 2014 8:00 AM
The Pest central district court decided on Wednesday to handle the case of five protesters detained after a demonstration against the government’s plan to tax internet use in ordinary proceedings and returned their documents to the public prosecutor’s office, asking it to collect further evidence.
The prosecutor has proposed preliminary detention for one of the persons who had already been charged with a similar violation earlier but the court ruled that imposing a ban on him to leave his town would be sufficient.
The other persons have been released.
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.
