Jobbik MP arrested at Sziget Festival protest (Hungary)

Several members of the far right 64 Counties Youth Movement scuffled with security guards and later with police at the entrance to the Sziget festival Friday evening. About 70 members of the Movement attempted to enter the island festival without tickets but security guards stopped them.

Several demonstrators then blocked the way to festivalgoers. Police broke up the group and put several of them on a bus reserved for detainees. Those detained included Jobbik MP Gyula György Zagyva. Police said Zagyva and four others were detained for the misdemeanour of disturbance of order.

Zagyva asked on Sunday that his right to immunity from prosecution be lifted over the matter. He initially said in a written statement Friday night that he would not waive his right to immunity.
