Italian Woman Shackled in Hungarian Court Sparks Diplomatic Tensions
TL;DR Summary
Italy protests Hungary's treatment of an Italian citizen, Ilaria Salis, who is facing up to 11 years in prison for alleged assault on far-right individuals. Salis appeared in a Budapest court wearing chains and shackles, prompting Italian government to summon its Hungarian ambassador in protest. The case is potentially embarrassing for Italy's far-right leaders, who have close ties with Hungary's nationalist PM. Salis' family plans to sue Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini after his party linked her to previous violence, despite her being acquitted of the crimes.
