Update about Maja
>Maja T. is to have a pacemaker implanted
The health of Maja T., imprisoned in Hungary, has reportedly deteriorated dramatically. Doctors apparently want to intervene because T. is at risk of organ damage.
-Maja T., a non-binary person accused in Hungary, is to have a pacemaker implanted, according to reports from Maja T.'s circle. According to reports, doctors have determined that T.'s heart rate has temporarily dropped to 30. The defendant has been on hunger strike for more than a month to protest "inhumane treatment in pre-trial detention" and is demanding her transfer to Germany.
T. is part of a group of activists from Germany and Italy who allegedly beat Hungarian neo-Nazis with sticks in 2023, according to the Hungarian public prosecutor's office. T. did not comment on the specific allegations, but stated at the start of the trial that the indictment documents she had received contained "not a single word" "that outlines my life, my personality, and is based on facts." Maja T. refused to plead guilty.
Just a few days ago, the defendant was taken to a prison hospital in southeastern Hungary because her health was deteriorating. Now, according to sources close to Maja T., doctors there are demanding a transfer to a civilian hospital. Only there is a 24-hour electrocardiogram (ECG) possible. This is to examine the heart, because otherwise there is a risk of organ damage. The transfer to a civilian hospital would also mean that the inmate would have to be confined to bed, it is feared.
Maja T.'s father, Wolfram Jarosch, told SPIEGEL: "Maja must not be tied to the bed. That would be a cruel and unnecessary coercive measure." Furthermore, "under no circumstances should a pacemaker be implanted against T.'s will." This would not help either, as the low heart rate is a result of the hunger strike.
According to the Hungarian public prosecutor's office, T. faces up to 24 years in prison. The transfer of the detainees from Germany to Hungary in the summer of 2024 was subsequently declared unlawful by the Federal Constitutional Court. There is repeated criticism from the EU that Hungary disregards the principles of the rule of law. This week, the EU Commission stated in its new Rule of Law Report that Hungary is making no progress in addressing deficiencies in the rule of law.
Politicians for extradition to Germany
Prominent politicians such as Green Party MP Katrin Göring-Eckardt and EU Left Party leader Martin Schirdewan are therefore demanding that T. be extradited back to Germany for a fair trial. "The Foreign Office must urgently bring an end to the solitary confinement and ensure Maja's return to Germany," Jarosch demands again.
In response to a written question from Green Party member of the Bundestag Helge Limburg, the German government recently stated: "The case of Maja T. was raised at a high level with the Hungarian government."
Right-wing Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni had called Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in the case of an Italian woman accused in the same case. Afterward, the sentence was reduced.
