(Vatican Radio) Rights activists have expressed concern about a new local law introduced near the Hungarian-Serbian border which bans the public expression of the Muslim religion as well as activities and awareness-raising that empower homosexuals. The decree in the southern Hungarian border of Ásotthalom was introduced by a controversial mayor and politician. Listen to the report by Stefan Bos: László Toroczkai already produced a Hollywood-style action video showing fast motors and jeeps riding border hunters warning migrants fleeing war and poverty not to arrive in Hungary and especially not in the border town of Ásotthalom.
