Human rights defenders under attack in Hungary urgently need solidarity and protection

The pro-government Hungarian weekly Figyelő yesterday published the names of more than 200 people, including staff of human rights organisations, academics and journalists, that it claimed were “Soros mercenaries”, allegedly paid by George Soros to topple the government. ENAR strongly condemns these attempts to intimidate courageous citizens and human rights defenders committed to creating a fairer society in Hungary and expresses full solidarity with them.
