Hungary's Roma clash with rightwing paramilitary group

12:50 Oct 19 2011 Gyöngyöspata, Hungary

Description
In 2011, members of a uniformed and armed rightwing paramilitary group moved into Gyöngyöspata, a small Hungarian village, ostensibly as a 'neighbourhood watch patrol'. The village's 450 Roma claim the real motive was to terrorise and drive out their community. The Hungarian Civil Liberties Union filmed the rise of the far-right Jobbik party, the group's political wing.
