Hungary police detain opposition MPs in chain protest


Hungarian police have broken up a demonstration by green liberal opposition MPs who chained themselves together outside parliament.

Former Socialist Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany was among several MPs detained by police at the scene in Budapest, Reuters news agency says.
