Three members of an illegal anti-Semitic organization have been sentenced to prison terms of up to one year by a Budapest court.
In pronouncing the verdict, the court emphasized that the defendants had attempted to revive the anti-Semitic “Szalasi movement” by organizing terrorist groups which distributed pamphlets threatening political assassinations and other terroristic actions. (Major Ferenc Szalasi, Hungarian Nazi leader, is serving a three-year prison term for subversive activities.)
