Thousands of Croatian far-right supporters march in Zagreb

Thousands of Croatian far-right supporters have marched in Zagreb to protest over an international convention they said indirectly legalises gay marriages and gives rights to transgender people.

The protesters sang patriotic songs and chanted slogans against Croatia's centre-right government, which last week approved the Istanbul convention that was adopted by the Council of Europe in 2011, but still has not been ratified by Croatia's parliament.
