He said Malina’s decision to move to Hungary equals to an indictment against Slovak politics and “the inhumanity of the authorities’ harassments.”

The “harsh and repeated violation of Hedvig Malina’s human rights” has forced her to leave her birthplace, Semjén said. Malina, now a mother of two, suffered a beating by two skinheads in the town of Nitra in August 2006 - allegedly due to her ethnicity.

Later on, she was charged with providing false testimony. Malina, who was a student at the time of the incident, took her case to the European Court of Human Rights in November 2007.

The Strasbourg court approved the Slovak government’s apology in November 2011. The prosecutor’s office, however, has continued investigation on the ground of false testimony.

In December this year, Malina again had to stand a psychology test.
