Overview

  • A Bundestag delegation visited Maja T. in a prison hospital near the Romanian border and found she remains in isolation without writing materials or other basic provisions.
  • MPs warned that Hungarian assurances of humane treatment have been broken and called on Foreign Minister Wadephul to secure her swift return to Germany.
  • State Secretary Géza Andreas von Geyr met Hungarian officials last week to press for fair trial guarantees and greater rule-of-law unity within the EU arrest-warrant system.
  • The Federal Prosecutor’s Office has opened a preliminary inquiry into Maja T.’s alleged involvement in a 2022 attack on a Thor Steinar store in Erfurt, though no charges have been filed.
  • Her father continues an 800 km hunger march from Dresden to Budapest and has submitted a petition with over 100,000 signatures demanding her immediate repatriation.
