German Activist Maja T. Faces Trial in Hungary Over Alleged Attacks on Right-Wingers

Maja T., a non-binary activist, rejects charges of violent attacks and decries their extradition and detention conditions as politically motivated and inhumane.

Maja T., a 24-year-old non-binary activist from Germany, is accused of participating in violent attacks on alleged right-wing extremists during protests in Budapest in February 2023.
The charges include serious bodily harm and membership in a criminal organization, with prosecutors seeking a sentence of up to 24 years if convicted.
Maja T. denies the allegations, refusing a plea deal for a 14-year prison term, and claims the charges are based on unsubstantiated hypotheses.
The activist criticizes their extradition to Hungary, which occurred despite a German constitutional court ruling deeming it unlawful, and describes their detention conditions as degrading and harmful to their health.
The trial has drawn international attention, with supporters condemning Hungary's handling of the case as politically motivated, while the next hearing is scheduled for March 6.
