Dozens of young homophobic hooligans have attacked participants of Bosnia's first-ever gay festival in Sarajevo, leaving at least eight people injured, including a police officer. Violence broke out at the end of the opening ceremony of the four-day festival, and only a heavy police deployment prevented worse attacks, reports the AFP. The festival falls during the holy month of Ramadan, upsetting the country's Muslim majority. More about this story - including a video from the BBC - is on the links below.
