Italy’s government has said that authorities in Hungary went “too far” in putting in chains an Italian woman who is awaiting trial for allegedly attacking neo-Nazis.
Images of Ilaria Salis, 39, with her hands cuffed and chained and her feet locked together as she sat in court were on the front pages of Italy’s major newspapers, amid rising outrage over her case.
Tajani said he did not want to interfere in Hungary’s justice system, but that “treating a prisoner in that way really seems inappropriate, not in tune with our legal culture”.
The Hungarian chargé d’affaires had been summoned to the foreign ministry on Tuesday to explain, Tajani said, adding: “We are in the European Union and there are citizens’ rights that must be respected.”
The Italian ambassador to Hungary on Tuesday paid a visit to the justice ministry in Budapest after meeting with Salis’s father.
“It was shocking, she was dragged like a dog,” one of Salis’s lawyers, Eugenio Losco, told the Ansa news agency.
