Hungary Bans Trans Rights Demonstration

A demonstration in support of transgender rights has been banned by the Budapest police. The event was intended to commemorate a specific occasion, although details of the occasion are not specified. The ban follows a law passed by the Hungarian parliament that restricts LGBT-related events. A photo from a previous march shows a transgender rights flag being held, indicating that such events have taken place in the area before. Further information about the banned demonstration and the law that led to its prohibition can be found through Human Rights Watch, which has reported on the situation in the local area.
