Syrian-Cypriot Ahmed Hamed was jailed for 10 years for his
part in a riot at Hungary's southern border.
According to the court, he fulfilled an "act of
terror" when he hurled rocks at police in an attempt to force the border
open. Hamed, who pleaded not guilty to a charge of terrorism, cried when his
sentence - the longest handed down by a Hungarian court in connection to the
migrant crisis - was announced. The protest group "Free the Roszke
11" gathered at the courthouse in Szeged to demand the release of Hamed
and call attention to what they said were racist tactics by the government.
