Attack on gay parade in Estonia prompts criminal case

The prosecutor's office of the northern district of Estonia has ordered the police to look into an attack on participants of a gay parade that took place in Tallinn on Saturday.

Initially, a case was opened into "violation of public order," the prosecutor's office told Interfax on Monday.
"However, more information on the incidents was received. Calls for violence and bodily harm, as well as discriminatory statements, were heard directed at the parade participants," the prosecutor's office said.
Thus, according to the police information, stones, eggs and other objects were thrown at participants of the parade. One of the participants, a Spanish citizen, sustained a concussion.
