UN commissioner’s letter on Ahmed H ‘outrageous’, says Hungarian ministry
Change language:
The foreign ministry has condemned a letter sent by the UN human rights commissioner to the foreign minister stating that the personal rights of Ahmed H, a Syrian migrant, had been violated.
Ahmed H spent 40 months in prison for inciting a riot in Sept 2015 on the Hungary-Serbia border. He was sentenced to five years in prison in a repeat procedure last year for illegally crossing the border as part of a rioting crowd and throwing objects at police, which the court regarded as complicity in terrorist activities, read more HERE.
He filed a lawsuit against the Prime Minister’s Cabinet Office saying that the government’s 2017 “national consultation” survey on the “Soros plan” referred to him directly and gave the impression he had already been convicted when the court had not yet passed a final ruling. Ahmed H sought 8 million forints (EUR 25,300) in damages.
