UPDATE: The comrades were detained outside of the embassy
During attacks on neo-Nazis on the “Day of Honor” in Budapest on February 23, 2023, several European anti-fascists were arrested and an international manhunt was launched for others. Among them was Maja T.,a young anti-fascist from Jena, Germany, who was arrested in Germany on December 11 and illegally extradited to Hungary on June 28, 2024. After almost a year of cruel solitary confinement in Budapest, Maja, went on hunger strike on June 5, 2025, with the aim to be transfered back to Germany.
“This is happening because I am being subjected to continuous long-term solitary confinement, which means less than 30 minutes of human contact per day – for over 200 days. It is a pre-trial detention in which I am not allowed to study or work, in which I have not been given enough books, the vitamin supplements I need, or timely doctor’s appointments, and in which there is a lack of sufficient daylight and healthy food. I was handed over to a prison that imposes humiliating and degrading security measures for which there is still no justification or explanation. When asked, they remain silent, and so I had to wear handcuffs even in my cell, during official visits, or Skype calls.I have now been forced by several dozen people to undress naked in front of them, but I still didn’t dare to change in my cell out of shame, as there was a camera illegally installed there for three months. What remains to this day are the bedbugs and cockroaches, as well as the light from the hourly checks, which robs me of my sleep at night.”
Fascism is gaining strength throughout Europe and the Balkan, and while young people are resisting a system that robs us of our future and our freedom, it is precisely these people who are being attacked more and more harshly by the state and punished with increasingly severe repression. What we as young people need to do, is to be in the first line of struggle, to practice strong international solidarity and create networks to defend ourselves against fascism. To build a future beyond capitalism and exploitation!
On 14. of July, Maya ended their hunger strike and is currently in a prison hospital to stabilize their health. Today is the next court date in Budapest, where the state is tryig to craft a big story about a terrorist organization. The demand of the state-lawyers: Over a decade of Prison if Maya pleads guilty. If not, over two decades.
22/9/25 Today, we, the Youth Structure of the Community of Squatted Prosfygika, made an Intervention to the German Embassy in Athens as this Trial of bourgeois class-justice goes into the next steps. We accuse the German State for it’s collaboration with the Hungarian Fascists and say clearly: The Antifascist struggle will continue to be fought from the below – from the youth, the workers, the migrants and in every neighborhood!
Together with Maja, we demand their transfer back to Germany and their release! We stand in solidarity with all those arrested in the Budapest complex.
Solidarity means resistance.
Against fascism in every country
Free Maja!
