Official: Council of Europe should call on Ukraine to stop threatening Hungarian minority
The Council of Europe should call on Ukraine to stop threatening its Hungarian minority, Zsolt NĂ©meth, the head of Hungary’s CoE delegation, has said in a letter sent to Rik Daems, the head of the organisation’s Parliamentary Assembly.
NĂ©meth noted recent “raids evoking Soviet times” by the Ukrainian authorities on Hungarian institutions in Ukraine and their leaders, aimed at “intimidating Transcarpathian Hungarians”.
On Nov. 30, Ukraine’s secret service raided the headquarters of the Transcarpathian Hungarian Cultural Association, as well as the home of its president, LĂ¡szlĂ³ Brenzovics.
The raids came after a ruling by a court in Zaporizhia, in eastern Ukraine, in connection with charges of separatism.
The association said it believed the procedure was based on fabricated political charges with the aim of hobbling the activities of Hungarian organisations and intimidating Hungarians of Transcarpathia and their leaders.

Ukraine wants the world to condemn Russia and to protect the Ukrainian minority there but is hypocritical in its treatment of the Hungarian minority. Typical.
