"Maja's trial is part of the so-called Budapest complex, one of the largest waves of repression against anti-fascists in Europe in recent years. The starting point was attacks on fascists on the sidelines of the National Socialist remembrance day 'Day of Honor' in February 2023 in #Budapest. As a result, Hungary and Germany launched an international hunt, in connection with which Maja was arrested in #Berlin at the beginning of December 2023. Maja was in custody in the Dresden JVA for six months, until the night of June 27, 2024: Maja was dragged out of the cell at night by masked units, illegally flown by helicopter to Austria and from there handed over to Hungary. It is so important to the German state to fight anti-fascism that it breaks its own rules. Maja has been held captive in inhumane long-term solitary confinement in Hungary for more than 500 days. And this in a country for which Maja as a non-binary person does not exist. Threatening Maya up to 24 years in prison. In this political show trial, past administrative offenses, such as a disturbance in 2018, underline Maja's criminal career, and fascists appear as witnesses. A verdict is expected to be announced on January 22nd. The prison conditions are inhumane: accommodation in a men's prison, hardly any daylight and daily, gratuitous, violent naked checks. Maja went on hunger strike in 2025 for better conditions and repatriation. This development does not happen in isolation: AI surveillance of society, such as the new police law in Berlin, the classification of anti-fascism as terrorist in the USA and Hungary, is intended to combat those who do not submit to the system as fascism grows stronger. The repression is directed against all of us. Maja is meant to be shown to us as an example of intimidation, but Maja is an example of resistance. Let's leave it nationwide Action day on January 15th the resistance come alive!
