"Ilaria Salis, 39, a teacher
from Monza, near Milan, was arrested in Budapest in February 2023 after a counter-demonstration against a neo-Nazi rally.
She was charged with three counts of attempted assault and
accused of being part of an
extreme leftwing organisation.
Her case sparked diplomatic protests and anger in Italy after she was brought to court in Hungary in chains,
her hands cuffed and feet locked together. She denies the charges, which carry a sentence
of up to 24 years in prison."
"An Italian antifascist activist
held in prison in Hungary has accepted a candidacy in the European elections
that could see her granted immunity and released from jail."
