A German transgender Antifa radical has been sentenced to eight years in prison in Hungary over a string of far-left attacks in Budapest.
In February of 2023, the infamous “Hammer Gang” Antifa cell allegedly targeted supposed “neo-Nazis” in Budapest, amid an annual celebration of the Hungarian troops that allied with the Waffen SS against the Soviet Red Army during the Siege of Budapest in 1945.
According to prosecutors, the Antifa radicals snuck up behind their victims before hitting them in the head with clubs and continuing to beat them as they fell to the ground, leaving some with life-threatening injuries and fractures to their skulls, Magyar Nemzet reports.
The leftist gang was also said to target anyone whom they suspected of being right-wing, regardless of whether they were actually attending the ceremony.
The Antifa cell — which the Trump administration recently designated as a foreign terrorist organisation — allegedly included “Maja T.”, who was provisionally sentenced to eight years in prison this week by the Budapest Municipal Court.
Maja, who identifies as “non-binary”, claimed that the decision was politically motivated and that it was made to appease Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who also recently classified Antifa as a terrorist group.
“Of course, I see the Hungarian government’s efforts to influence the independence of the court,” the activist said.
