Overview

• Maja T was transferred to Hungarian custody in June 2024 despite a pending German constitutional court challenge and has since been held in near-total isolation.
• On June 5, after nearly 11 months in solitary confinement, she announced an indefinite hunger strike to protest shackling, unhygienic conditions and cell infestations.
• A Budapest court postponed ruling on her request to convert pretrial detention into house arrest until June 20, prompting her “last-resort” protest action.
• She remains on trial in Budapest, accused of participating in violent attacks on right-wing extremists during the February 2023 “Tag der Ehre” rally and facing up to 24 years in prison.
• Family members, left-wing groups and human rights organizations are urging Berlin to secure a fair hearing and arrange her transfer back to Germany.
