short article 2 min

A German anti-fascist activist, Maja T, was sentenced to eight years in prison by a Hungarian court on Wednesday for attacking participants at Budapest's "Day of Honour" neo-Nazi rally. Maja T was convicted of attempted aggravated bodily harm and assault as part of a criminal organization. The prosecution stated that Maja T was part of a multinational far-left group that traveled to Hungary in 2024 and attacked nine people identified as far-right extremists, causing injuries. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's spokesman welcomed the sentence, labeling Maja T an "antifa terrorist." The extradition of Maja T from Germany in December 2024 was previously criticized, and concerns were raised about fair trial conditions in Hungary. The conviction can be appealed.
