Hungarian Revolution of 1956 [SEP] Introduction
When the delegation's release was demanded by the protesters outside, they were fired upon from within the building by the State Security Police, known as the "ÁVH" (acronym for "Államvédelmi Hatóság", literally "State Protection Authority"). Multiple students died and one was wrapped in a flag and held above the crowd. This was the start of the next phase of the revolution. As the news spread, disorder and violence erupted throughout the capital. The revolt spread quickly and the government collapsed. Thousands organised themselves into militias, battling the ÁVH and Soviet troops. During the revolt there were violent incidents; some local leaders and ÁVH members were lynched or captured, while former political prisoners were released and armed.
