have a new bridge in place by the end of next year. the hope of escaping poverty and conflict is like millions of migrants from africa and the middle east to seek better lives elsewhere many turn to europe which saw the peak of that exodus in twenty fifty asylum seekers followed this route north fat year made their way to western europe this led all forces in hungary to build a fence along the country's southern border and to jailed migrants who managed to cross it be doubly has been speaking with one man who says he was trying to help his family reach germany but ended up in hungary in jail he's asked us not to show his face and see for reports. one of hungary's best known prisoners is waiting to meet me in this budapest prison. to the government he's a dangerous terrorist others say he's a political prisoner. achmet tells me he does not know why he's here

and never understand what it was how come bets wrong can be totally this way with what do you think of when you think of terrorism what does terrorism mean to you doesn't who at least minimal make won't kill people. he has hatred for other people who lead on this is because he has he has to do something from hate that what. was. after that is syrian but as lived for several years in cyprus with the cypriot wife in two thousand and fifteen he set out to help his parents and his brother's family flee to europe. they arrived at the hunger in border the day after it was closed they were blocked along with hundreds of other refugees who lack basic necessities protests broke out. tried to translate between the police and the protesters. but

i. but when communication broke down she joined in throwing rocks. and had planned to return to his family in cyprus but never made it home he was arrested and sentenced to seven years in prison these people are not peaceful they are not simply want to go through hungary they carry a danger and that they sure use a very clear and present that's up to date the court ruled that the intent to coerce police with violence is an act of terror. within the context what happened at the border but we do know that we. about what crime it cost to swing a couple of rocks. even if it's not the right thing to do in this issue with the situation like this. is not. what covers terrorism in a statement to d.w.

the hunger in government defended the decision of the court writing there has been a campaign lasting over a year including the involvement of the international press to prove that ahmed age is an innocent man. hungary will continue to protect its borders will defend its christian culture and its right to reject immigration. aftermath feels he is a victim of politics. my friend who can imagine do you think i want to ask you one question you want americans and america they do these. young. this prison has been home for ahmed age for nearly three years he says his only plan for when he gets out is to see his family once again. his parents and brother's family live in germany now as refugees. they were able to take an alternate route through europe to apply for asylum when i meet them ahmed's wife is visiting with their daughters from cyprus she has been struggling to understand why

hungary singled out her husband for punishment how come this is i am you know how do you know by putting someone in the ga by saying he's a. one off mother was arrested his daughters were four and six. when he sees them again he will be eleven and thirteen if his sentence is not reduced. and aside from rights group amnesty international she joins us from london welcome to the w. you've been campaigning on behalf you're looking for him to be released off a sentence to be reduced well we're calling on a. conviction on terrorism charges to be lifted and to be released he has been in prison already for three years separated as you heard from he's missed two daughters and his wife. and the entire substance of the prosecution against him is

that he's through to start and that he is with the police at the border with the border was closed. the east cannot reasonably be considered an act of terrorism without we're calling to let the charges of terrorism against him to be chopped. does hungary have the rights to decide who enters the country. how we does have the right to end to decide who enters the country to a certain extent but all countries have an obligation to share responsibility for refugees in those fleeing war now it's important to remember that ahmed himself wasn't actually a refugee he had come to the aid of keys elderly parents who are trying to flee syria but the more than a government in hungary have been using the case to to prove that their that refugees and terrorism are in some way associated this is the argument that they used to justify their rejection of refugees and asylum seekers the only case that

they have to support this argument that they have found its case so is the army really being a victim of the wider politics at play so should people be allowed to bombard police with roxane get away with it attacks against the police can be a criminal offense or lots of countries but they do not constitute a terrorism offense and what i'm in has been prosecuted for is committing an act of terrorism this is in part because of hungary's overly broad and vaguely defined counter-terrorism law under which a lot of actions which we were not reasonably we consider to be terrorism can carry out as a terrorism offense this combined with the old bad governments dehumanization of refugees and migrants more broadly has given rise to these prosecution good talking to thank you for joining us at aside from the amnesty international thank you. this
