Dear Chief of Police,

I am writing to urgently address Hungary’s recently adopted legislation – Act III of 2025, which not only can be used to ban Pride marches, but also imposes fines on participants and criminal charges on organizers. It also empowers authorities to use invasive facial recognition surveillance to track participants. This legislation is a clear violation of Hungary’s international and regional human rights obligations, including the rights to
freedom of peaceful assembly, expression, the right to privacy and the right to be free from discrimination.

For three decades, Pride organisers in Hungary and the police have worked to ensure the safety and dignity of all those involved. Pride is a peaceful demonstration of equality and justice. Yet, this recently adopted law is built on falsehoods, mischaracterizing LGBTI visibility as “harmful to children,” and creates fear, not safety. This law not only undermines the rights of LGBTI people but sets a dangerous precedent that impacts
the rights of all.

As the police, your sworn duty is to protect all citizens and uphold human rights. Your role is also to respect, protect and facilitate people’s right to peacefully protest and not to enforce discriminatory laws that infringe on the human rights of individuals. The world is watching and waiting for the 30th Budapest Pride to march on the streets.

This is a defining moment. You must choose to protect human rights and dignity, over enforcing a law that silences those demanding equality. I call on you to reject this unjust law, uphold Hungary’s human rights commitments, and ensure that the 28 June Budapest Pride march proceeds unhindered and peacefully, free from discrimination, harassment, fear or violence.

Yours sincerely,
