(ANSA-AFP) - BUDAPEST, FEB 21 - A German anti-fascist activist accused of allegedly participating in violent attacks against neo-Nazis went on trial on Friday in Hungary, as nationalist premier Viktor Orban has vowed to clamp down on "far-left violence". During a preliminary hearing, the 24-year-old activist -- who identifies as non-binary -- was led into a Budapest court room handcuffed and with feet shackled. The defendant, known as Maja T., is accused of four counts of attempted assault against far-right activists in February 2023. According to a court statement, the accused acted as part of a criminal organisation that "inflicted various life-threatening injuries" on the presumed neo-Nazis. Maja T. was handed over to Hungary last summer, a decision that was severely criticised by a German constitutional court earlier this month, which said it had failed to take into account potentially dangerous prison conditions in Hungary, especially for LGBTQ people. "I am accused in a country, where I do not exist as Maja," said the defendant in front of a packed courtroom, denouncing human rights violations in Hungary. (ANSA-AFP).
