He is on trial in Hungary on the charge that a year ago, during a demonstration, he attacked two far-right activists who, it appears, did not press charges
THE Italian Ilaria Salisaged thirty-nine, is being tried in Hungary with the accusation that a year ago, during a demonstration, he attacked two far-right activists who, as it turns out, did not file a lawsuit.
The trial began today and the images of the Italian prisoner, who she was brought into the courtroom handcuffed, with a chain. “She was being dragged around like a dog, it was terrible. And the whole thing lasted more than three hours,” said her lawyer.
Oggi Ilaria Salis è entrata in tribunale a Budapest incatenata mani e piedi, tenuta al guinzaglio. Detained for 11 months in inhumane conditions in a Hungarian prison, in Europe. Is the moment arrived that the Italian government feels strong and clear? pic.twitter.com/v3dFkLy6qi

Sallis proclaims her innocence and her family has complained that she is being held in Budapest in inhumane conditions. Thousands of citizens have already signed an online petition demanding her immediate release.
Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, in a post on X, asked the Hungarian government “to carry out the necessary controls and to intervene so that the rights – as provided by the rules of the European Union – of the Italian citizen Ilaria Sallis are respected”.
The trial is expected to continue on May 24.
