"A woman and six men are accused of being behind a string of attacks between 2018 and 2023 that injured several people. A German court has opened the trial of several left-wing activists accused of violent attacks on right-wing hardliners. The court in Dresden in southeast Germany on Tuesday launched the case against seven members of the Antifa Ost group, who are accused of injuring several people in politically motivated assaults."
"Two of the suspects are also accused of injuring several people in Budapest in February 2023 during the Day of Honour event in the Hungarian capital, which draws right-wing hardliners from across Europe. Another German activist, Maja T, was earlier extradited to Hungary, where she is on trial. She faces a sentence of up to 24 years for membership of a criminal organisation, attempted homicide, and serious bodily injury."
A woman and six men are accused of carrying out bludgeoning attacks that injured several people in eastern Germany between 2018 and 2023. A Dresden court has opened trial against seven members of Antifa Ost on charges of politically motivated assaults targeting neo-Nazis and other right-wing hardliners. The suspects include lead defendant Lina E and six men. Two suspects face additional accusations for injuring people at the February 2023 Day of Honour event in Budapest. Another German activist, Maja T, was extradited to Hungary and faces up to 24 years for membership of a criminal organisation, attempted homicide, and serious bodily injury.
