SPLIT, June 12
(Hina) - After Saturday's parade of the LGBT
(lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) community in the biggest
Croatian coastal city of Split, the local police pressed charges in
161 cases for disturbing peace and for violations of rules of peaceful
assembly, and they also pressed charges against three people for
cannabis possession.
Seven rioters were detained in police holding cells overnight and will be brought before a magistrate judge later in the day, the Split county police said on Sunday.
The police are watching video records they made during the gay parade and checking other evidence in order to press more charges.
