BBC NEWS | Europe | Rubber bullets at Hungary protest Quote:
Police in Hungary have fired rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse protesters during commemorations of the 1956 uprising against Soviet rule.
Clashes took place with about 1,000 demonstrators close to parliament where officials had earlier laid flowers on the 50th anniversary of the revolt.
Some protesters were in a tank they had taken from an uprising exhibition.
Hungary has seen bitter political division since PM Ferenc Gyurcsany admitted he lied to win re-election.
Some veterans of the uprising refused to shake hands with him.
