An Italian antifascist activist who was brought in chains to a court in Hungary for allegedly attacking neo-Nazis has written a letter denouncing the degrading conditions in which she has been held in prison for nearly a year as outrage grows over her case at home.
Images of Ilaria Salis, 39, with her hands cuffed and chained and her feet locked together as she sat in court, made the front pages of Italy’s newspapers and triggered a formal diplomatic protest to Hungary this week from the Italian government.
