International observers on the case
of Ilaria Salis said Thursday that Hungarian neo-Nazis are
threatening the 39-year-old Monza elementary teacher and
anti-fascist activist on trial in Budapest for allegedly
attacking three neo-Nazis on their Day of Honour lauding SS
troops on February 11, 2023.
They said that Salis had been exposed to threats since the
publication of her address for the house arrest she was grated
last week after becoming a European parliament candidate for the
Green-Left Alliance (AVS).
"The address has been published on a Hungarian far right site
with a special dedication and the offer of a 'welcome little
thing'," said the Democratic Jurists observer group.
After her release from controversial prison detention into house
arrest, Salis has no longer been led into court on a chain with
her wrists and ankles cuffed, treatment which Hungary says is
standard procedure but which spurred angry Italian protests.
Salis faces up to 24 years in jail for attempted murder.
If she is elected for AVS Salis may be released completely due
to parliamentary immunity.
