Hungary:`extremist' symbols ruled illegal
artdoc June=1993

The Hungarian Parliament has ruled that it is an offence to
distribute, use in public, or display `extremist symbols' of both
left and right. Symbols outlawed include the swastika, the SS
badge, the arrow cross, the five-pointed red star or the hammer
and sickle (Hungarian Review April 19 1993).

Skinhead attacks

A group of eleven youths are to be tried for racist attacks
carried out in 1992 including an attack on a Zairean diplomat and
a diplomat from the Yemen who spent 21 days in hospital following
an attack.
Meanwhile, six skinheads have been arrested for assaulting a
number of people on the underground, including two students who
were hospitalised for eight days (Magyar Hirlap 12.3.93,
