CPJ: Hungarian authorities should immediately drop the misdemeanour charges against Telex journalists 😔

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) demands the Hungarian authorities drop misdemeanour charges against two Telex journalists who were detained while waiting to question Prime Minister Viktor Orbán about healthcare. CPJ's Attila Mong condemned the use of police force against reporters, highlighting a troubling trend in Hungary's treatment of the press. The journalists were detained before a public event, and the Prime Minister's Press Chief labeled their work as 'pathetic and illegal'.
