On Wednesday, the appeals court in Budapest reduced the prison sentence for German non-binary person Maja T. from the original eight years to seven years. The ruling concerns the case of violent attacks on participants in a neo-Nazi demonstration in Hungary in February 2023. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
Maja T. from Jena, Germany, was one of the accused in the proceedings. The first-instance verdict handed her an eight-year sentence for attacks on people labeled as right-wing extremists. The appeals court amended the original ruling and shortened the sentence by one year. n-tv ↗
At the same time, the Hungarian court changed the legal assessment of the case, no longer classifying Maja T. as a member of an organized group, as had been the case in the first-instance verdict. This circumstance was among the reasons that led to the reduction of the sentence. In the case, she appeared as the fourth accused. Deutschlandfunk ↗
The trial has become the subject of a long-running political dispute in Hungary between supporters of the accused and the Hungarian judiciary. The appeals court's ruling represents a partial mitigation of the original verdict. However, according to the verdict, Maja T. remains sentenced to several years in prison. Welt ↗
In the same proceedings, another accused person, Gabriele M., also received a lighter sentence. Further details about her new sentence were not provided. Telex ↗
