Court judgment on police measure restricting access to the square in front of the Parliament

In 2006 the police restricted access  to the square in front of the Parliament of  Hungary, thus, for a while it was not possible to demonstrate on the square. The Hungarian Helsinki Comittee has claimed that the restriction was unlawful.  In its decision dated 11 November 2010 the Metropolitan Court ruled in favour of the Hungarian Helsinki Committee. The court stated that the police was not able to give reasons for upholding the restriction.
