During the trial the witnesses of the defense were not heard. There were many foreign journalists claiming that Ahmed H. was not inciting violence, but rather calming the crowd, however, the court refused to hear them, and decided to rely only on the testimony of the police. [...]
Ahmed H. was sentenced to 10 years in prison despite the fact that his only crime was using a megaphone and throwing what might have been a couple of stones at the border police. In turn, the extreme right-wing leader, György Budaházy, whom the authorities charged with repeated acts of terrorism (including detonating bombs) was sentenced for 13 years in prison. [...]
Even more frightening is the fact that this whole thing could be carried out without the opposition from the Hungarian society, without the loud protest of the opposition and the media.
This silence shows that if the propaganda is loud enough, anybody can become a terrorist. The only requirement is for Viktor Orbán to decide so.
