Tens of thousands march peacefully in Hungary, 50 years after
end of anti-Soviet uprising  Tens of thousands of Hungarians
marched Saturday in a torch-lit procession organized by the
center-right opposition on the 50th anniversary of the Soviet
crackdown on Hungary's 1956 revolution.  Commemorations across
the country remembered the end of the uprising, when an
estimated 100,000 Soviet troops and up to 4,600 tanks overran
the country.  There have been protests in the Hungarian capital
since Sept. 17, after radio broadcasts of a leaked recording on
which Socialist Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany could be heard
admitting that the government lied about the economy to win re-
election in April.  comments powered by Disqus History News
