Hungary, which recently revised its official interpretation of the 1956 uprising crushed by Soviet troops, will offer compensation to those sentenced to prison terms as a result of activities during the revolt, the official news agency MTI said. The government decision will affect about 22,000 people, it said. Those sentenced to less than one year will receive a monthly supplement of $8.30 to their retirement pension. Those who served longer terms will get another $4.15 per month for every extra year begun in prison up to five years, and then $3.30 for every subsequent year.
