#freeMaja #freeallantifas –

In February 2023 Budapest annual “Honor day” in commemoration of Nazis who perished in the siege of Budapest by the Soviet army in 1945 took place. Groups of antifascists organised countermobilization to protest this action.

One of the participants was antifascist Maja T, the illegal extradition of whom to Hungary became one of the most controversial in Germany in the last years.

Maja is accused in organised attacks on alleged neo-nazis. Maja is currently held in solitary confinement in Budapest, since extradition in June 2024, and can face up to 24 years in prison.

This year, the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany ruled that the conditions of this extradition were unacceptable.

February this year hearings regarding this started. On February 21 activist gave a speech, in which Maja touched on the matter of russian war aggression:

“There is still an imperial war raging in the middle of Europe and it’s almost impossible to ignore the fact that fascism and its followers are once again gaining power, whether on a supposedly distant continent or in the neighboring garden. Totalitarian yearnings and authoritarian entanglements in our societies, exclusion and isolation are experiencing a renaissance. I wonder what will happen if everyone just saves themselves? Is this how we escape collective powerlessness? Where will fear and despair drive us?”

On June 5th, protesting against the conditions of confinement, Maja announced going on a hunger strike.

Father of antifascist is convinced it is a political and not criminal case.

We’re joining the support of Maja T and suggest you hop on to the initiative to write letters to the activist. You can find a detailed instruction on how to write these letters on ABC Dresden website.
