Overview

• Maja T. has been on hunger strike for over three weeks in a Budapest detention center, losing around ten kilograms to protest isolation and alleged inhumane pretrial conditions.
• On June 28, Green Party deputy Katrin Göring-Eckardt met Maja T. in prison, pressed for a fair judicial process and urgent return to Germany, and faulted Berlin for the 2024 extradition.
• A Budapest court rejected Maja’s request to move to house arrest, citing flight risk concerns given the up to 24-year sentence she faces for purported 2023 violence against right-wing demonstrators.
• German defense lawyer Sven Richwin criticized the trial’s reliance on written records instead of live witness testimony and said core fair-trial principles appear absent.
• Extradition proceedings for co-defendant Zaid A. in Germany continue without clear legal barriers even as French and Italian courts have halted comparable transfers to Hungary.
