Sub-Amendment to Amendment No. 22 | Doc. 13229 | 25 June 2013
Request for the opening of a monitoring procedure in respect of Hungary
At the end of amendment 22, insert the following sentences:
"The Assembly stresses that between 2002-2010, during the 8 year-long rule of the socialist-liberal governments, there was a human rights crisis in Hungary, especially in the autumn of 2006, when hundreds of people were attacked by the police, more than a dozen people were shot in the eye and hundreds of arbitrary processes were performed against demonstrators and innocent victims. Reports of human rights organisations, judgments and official reports of the Hungarian Parliament all confirmed these serious breaches of human rights. It is not compatible with the values of the Council of Europe that punishment of the perpetrators - inter alia the former prime-minister - still has not happened. The Hungarian authorities should take the necessary legal steps in order to cease their impunity."
