On Wednesday, February 4th, the Budapest-Capital Regional Court sentenced German far-left activist ‘Maja T.’—born Simeon T.—to eight years in prison for his role in a series of brutal, ideologically motivated attacks carried out in Budapest in February 2023.
The court found that Maja T. took part in organised, premeditated assaults during the so-called Day of Honour commemorations in the Hungarian capital, when groups of masked attackers stalked victims they deemed ‘right-wing,’ ambushing them from behind and beating them with batons, metal rods, and other weapons.
