Uzhhorod, March 19 (MTI) – Csaba Latorcai, cabinet deputy state secretary for social relations, attended the unveiling ceremony of a memorial to Hungary’s 1956 anti-Soviet revolution and to communism victims in Uzhhorod (in Hungarian: Ungvár), in western Ukraine’s Transcarpathia (in Hungarian: Kárpátalja) region, on Saturday.
Addressing the ceremony, Latorcai said the unveiling was to mark the anniversary of a trial of Hungarian secondary school students in Uzhhorod who were accused of involvement in anti-Soviet activities.
