A 23-year-old non-binary person known as 'Maja' has been extradited from Germany to Hungary, sparking protests across German cities.
The extradition occurred despite a last-minute ruling by Germany's Federal Constitutional Court to halt the process.
Hungarian authorities accuse Maja of being part of a criminal organization targeting right-wing extremists.
The Berlin prosecutor's office defended the early-morning extradition, citing potential disruption attempts.
Hundreds of left-wing demonstrators marched in Hamburg, Berlin, Leipzig, and Jena, demanding Maja's freedom.
The case has raised concerns about LGBTQ+ rights and judicial processes in Hungary.
