It is Ahmed’s birthday today, and it is more than 2 years now that he is kept in complete isolation, separated from his family, wife and two young daughters. All requests for visit were rejected or simply ignored by the hungarian authorities.
On the 15th of June 2017 in Szeged, Hungary, Ahmed H. had his second instance trial which referred the case back to the first instance court to reconsider the terrorism charges due to “lack of reasoning and interpretation”. This reconsideration will take place on the 30th of October and continue on the 2nd of November. The trial against Ahmed H. is a racist showcase that tries to strengthen the idea that all migrants are terrorists and to criminalize another protest against the EUropean border regime (for more details visit the blog of the campaign: http://freetheroszke11.weebly.com/).
