Ilaria Salis, an Italian anti-Fascist
activist on trial in Hungary, has been elected to the European
Parliament, the Green-Left Alliance (AVS) that put her among its
candidates said early on Monday.
The 39-year-old Monza elementary school teacher is on trial in
Hungary for allegedly being part of a German-led gang that
allegedly targeted three neo-Nazis on their Day of Honour
commemorating an SS regiment's "heroic" resistance against the
Red Army on 11 February 2023.
Her conditions of detention have sparked protests from Italy
after she was repeatedly led into court on a chain with her
hands and ankles cuffed, a procedure Hungary says is standard
but which aroused indignation here.
