Pest Central District Court on Thursday handed down a total of 29 years in prison to all seven members of a gang, mostly Roma youths, after finding that they had beaten a man because he was Hungarian.
The court stated that the perpetrators had acted out of racist motives.
The incident occurred on Tavaszmez utca in the Eighth District in 2009.

In Sweden for example this would be unthinkable as Swedes are the one group not protected by "hate crime" -legislation.
