Hungarian Skinheads Get Suspended Sentences for Assaulting Foreigners
The appeals court in Pécs, in southern Hungary, has handed suspended prison sentences to two men for the racially motivated assault on two Yemeni university students, the court said.

The two men were sentenced for pushing and kicking two Yemeni university students after hearing them speak Arabic outside a shopping mall in August 2018.

One of the attackers was sentenced to 15 months to be served in a youth detention centre, while the other was handed a two-year prison sentence, both suspended for three years.
