While no comprehensive data or evidence is available, human rights organizations report cases when the police refuses to investigate attacks against members of minority groups as hate crimes, e.g. in March and April 2011 in Gyöngyöspata, a village with a significant Roma population, when rightist extremist were patrolling there.[1] ____________________ [1] TASZ (2011) ‘Hogyan keni el a rendőrség a gyűlölet-bűncselekményeket?’ (05.10.2011), available at: http://tasz.hu/romaprogram/hogyan-keni-el-rendorseg-gyulolet-buncselekmenyeket (last accessed: 29.02.2012) |
