Italian anti-fascist activist Ilaria Salis has returned to her parents' house in Monza, Italy, after being freed from house arrest in Budapest. Salis, who was elected as a new member of the European Parliament for the Italian Green and Left Alliance, was released from house arrest after more than a year in detention in Hungary.
Salis, 39, faced charges in Hungary for allegedly assaulting far-right demonstrators during an incident related to the far-right Day of Honor event. Despite the allegations, Salis was elected to the European Parliament, where lawmakers enjoy legal immunity from prosecution for crimes committed prior to their election.
