Evropski židovski kongres traži da mađarska vlada locira i uhiti nacističkog ratnog zločinca koji živi u Budimpešti

The European Jewish Congress called on the Hungarian Government and authorities to immediately locate and arrest Laszlo Csatary, who is suspected of playing a key role in the deportation of over 15,000 Jews to Auschwitz in 1944, many of whom were subsequently murdered.

Kongres poziva mađarsku vladu i ustanove da odmah lociraju i uhite Laszla Csataryja za kojeg se sumnja da je imao ključnu ulogu u deportaciji preko 15.000 Židova u Auschwitz 1944. godine, mnogi od njih su ubijeni."Mađarska vlada ima moralnu odgvornost da učini sve da se pornađe i uhiti  taj čovjek kao da je ubio tisuće ljudi danas", rekao je predsjednik EJC Moše Kantor. Njegova se starost ne treba uzimati u obzir. Ako je danas netko sumnjiv da je uzrokovao ubijanje tisuća ljudi, ne treba imati obzira da se dovede do pravde, isto se treba primijeniti i u ovom slučaju.

Csatary was exposed after a British newspaper, acting on information from the Simon Wiesenthal Center, tracked the 97 year old man down and confronted him in Budapest. He has since left his property and gone into hiding. “This case is about justice, and we should not be sidetracked with the age of the suspect or the date of the crimes,” Kantor continued. “Mass murder should have no statute of limitations.”

In 1948, a Czechoslovakian court condemned Csatary to death in absentia, but he fled to Canada. In 1997, he was forced to flee after he was stripped of his Canadian citizenship.

1948.godine je sud u Čehoslovaćkoj osudio Csataryja ( u odsutnosti)  na smrt, ali on je pobjegao u Kanadu. Godine 1997.  on je morao pobjeći nakon što mu je oduzeto kanadsko državljanstvo.

“With extremism and racism growing in many parts of Europe, including Hungary, his arrest would send an important message,” Kantor said. “Groups like Jobbik feed off the dark Nazi-era period and to put someone on trial for crimes against humanity which took place during that era would send a clear message that Nazism is a stain on humanity.”
