Amnesty International activists are organizing a mini-Pride event this Wednesday, June 25, in response to the prohibition of the 30th edition of Budapest Pride, according to a statement from the organization. The march will begin at the European Parliament and proceed to the Permanent Representation of Hungary to the European Union. The event will gather members of LGBTQIA+ rights organizations, as well as political and European representatives, in a show of solidarity against Hungary\u2019s restrictive new legislation<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running parallel to this demonstration, Amnesty International has launched an international campaign called \u201cLet Pride March.\u201d<\/a> This initiative follows the adoption on March 18, 2025, of a Hungarian law that bans Pride marches. The law empowers authorities to cancel Pride events, impose fines of up to 200,000 forints (about \u20ac500) on participants, and sentence organizers to up to one year in prison. It also authorizes the use of facial recognition technology to identify and target protestors, raising serious concerns about privacy and freedom of expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
