Opposition politicians in Hungary are alarmed by a spate of detentions
for alleged scaremongering on social media about the coronavirus
pandemic.
It comes as the EU, citing Hungary, called on Thursday for emergency government powers granted during the crisis to be eased along with lockdowns.
Several people have been arrested at their homes and detained for several hours over social media posts. Police said on Thursday that 16 people have been questioned during their investigations.
