A legal battle looms over the sale of a British author’s LGBT+ graphic novel in Hungary, after its government attempted to ban a bookshop from selling it without closed packaging.
The country’s second largest bookshop chain Lira has announced that it plans to take legal action after a Budapest government office fined it 12 million forints (£27,500), claiming it broke the law by selling Alice Oseman’s Heartstopper among other books for young adults without wrapping them in plastic foil.
