Overview

  • Maja T. ended her 40-day hunger strike on Monday after losing 14 kg, suffering a pulse as low as 30 beats per minute and facing life-threatening organ damage.
  • She remains hospitalized in a Hungarian prison medical facility while held in pre-trial isolation on charges related to alleged attacks on neo-Nazis in Budapest.
  • Activists maintain a round-the-clock protest camp outside the German Foreign Office in Berlin to pressure officials to secure her release.
  • Wolfram Jarosch, Maja’s father, has begun a “hunger march” to Budapest with only minimal caloric intake to draw attention to her case and demand repatriation.
  • Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul has sent a delegation to Hungary seeking better detention conditions but emphasized that only Hungarian courts can decide her custody.
