Montenegro capital's first Gay Pride march erupts in violence

Twenty police officers were injured on Sunday in clashes with hundreds of stone-throwing protesters opposed to the first Gay Pride march held in Montenegro's capital, a hospital said.

Police used tear gas and clubs to stop protesters throwing stones and firecrackers from getting near the marchers who had been given an official green light for their parade.

Around 60 protesters were detained and the hospital said that of the 20 policemen injured one was seriously hurt.
