The images of Italian activist Ilaria Salis, 39, in chains during her court appearance in Budapest have caused outrage and led to a diplomatic protest from Italy. Salis, charged with attempted assault and accused of being part of an extreme leftwing organization, denies the charges. The trial began on Monday, and Salis arrived in court with her hands cuffed and chained, prompting Italian ministers to summon Budapest’s ambassador in protest. The Italian government decried the treatment, stating that Hungary went “too far” and expressing concern over Salis’s rights during the trial.
