BBC/
Nearly 300 Roma were evacuated from the village of Gyongyospata in eastern Hungary because of a nearby far-right vigilante training camp.
Police say the Vedero/Defense Force vigilante group has been patrolling the village since last month to prevent so-called "Gypsy crime".
The 277 women and children were bussed to a holiday camp in Budapest.
23 APRIL UPDATE:
A spokesman for Hungary's government accuses its political opponents of staging an unnecessary "evacuation" of Roma women and children from the village of Gyongyospata.
Zoltan Kovacs of the Hungarian Justice Ministry told the BBC that the so-called evacuation was "a clear-cut political provocation" and completely unwarranted.
