Hungarian police do not allow a demonstration in support of Hamas in Budapest
The Budapest Police Headquarters (BRFK) said on Friday that demonstrating in support of a terrorist organisation was not permitted, and Budapest police will not allow a rally in support of Hamas to take place in the capital today.
A statement on the police.hu website notes that a private individual announced the intention of holding a rally in Budapest’s 2nd district in connection with the war between Israel and Hamas.
The police said the rally was prompted by a call by “the terrorist organisation” on its followers around the world to “demonstrate anger”.
The 2018 law on the right of assembly, it said, prohibited holding any assembly that directly imperilled public safety, and punitive action would be taken against anyone taking part in a prohibited assembly.

Good decision. Hamas is a terrorist group. This group beheaded babies, burned families alive and raped women. Why would anyone support such barbarism?
