Skinhead assault against two Yemeni students: the court decided

The appeals court in Pécs, in southern Hungary, has handed suspended prison sentences to two men for the racially motivated assault on two Yemeni university students, the court said on Wednesday.

The two men were sentenced for pushing and kicking two Yemeni university students after hearing them speak Arabic outside a shopping mall in August 2018. One of the attackers was sentenced to 15 months to be served in a youth detention centre, while the other was handed two-year prison sentence, both suspended for three years.

And since we are writing about Yemen and Yemeni students, we reported HERE that a Hungarian man was tortured to death in Yemen where he went to marry a local girl. Blikk reached the head of a Yemeni human rights organisation that tried to put together the last weeks of the life of the Hungarian man.

György Koltai, who had previously been imprisoned and tortured, travelled back to Yemen to marry the sister of a former fellow prisoner, Yemeni human rights activist Tawfik al-Hamidi, who knew Hungarians who had

converted to the Muslim faith,

they told Blikk. I have known György, ie Abdul Hakim, for a long time because we worked in a similar field. […] I helped him organise interviews with Arabic TV channels, but I also visited Hungary, where we had lunch at his mother’s house, said Tawfik al-Hamidi, head of Geneva-based human rights organisation SAM. After al-Hamidi saw that Koltai had returned to Yemen, he could not contact him.
