Overview

• Maja T., a 24-year-old German non-binary national, remains on trial in Budapest over allegations of participating in a February 2023 attack on right-wing extremists.
• She has been on hunger strike since early June, shedding roughly eight kilograms while demanding an end to isolation measures and improved detention conditions.
• At the June 18 hearing a prison doctor initially ruled her unfit to stand trial before reversing that verdict under alleged pressure, resulting in a handcuffed courtroom appearance.
• The German Association of Democratic Doctors and other human rights groups warn that current prison conditions pose severe health risks and call for adherence to international medical standards.
• Martin Schirdewan, chairman of The Left in the European Parliament, plans to visit Budapest on June 23 to document her health and detention conditions firsthand.
