A 92-year-old
former senior Hungarian Communist Party official was convicted on
Tuesday of war crimes over shootings of civilian protesters after the
November 1956 uprising that was crushed by Soviet tanks.
It was the first trial
of an ex-top communist in Hungary since the government of Prime
Minister Viktor Orban, a staunch anti-communist, enacted a law in 2011
to enable prosecution of crimes committed after the anti-Communist
revolt.
