TL;DR Summary

Italy has summoned Hungary's ambassador after images of an Italian woman, Ilaria Salis, in shackles at a Budapest court sparked outrage. Salis, a primary school teacher, is accused of taking part in violent assaults against neo-Nazi sympathizers in Hungary. The case has drawn attention to alleged harsh conditions in Hungarian detention facilities and concerns about the fairness of the trial. Italian politicians are urging action, and the European Parliament Committee on Civil Liberties has expressed concern. Salis's lawyer criticized Hungary's judiciary system as "highly repressive" and called for her to be allowed to serve pre-trial detention in Italy.
