Minister of Foreign Affairs and External Economic Relations Péter Szijjártó has called upon Hungary's ambassador accredited to Bolivia to assist the repatriation of Előd Tóásó, the Hungarian who has been illegally imprisoned in the country for almost six years. Mr. Szijjártó ordered both the ambasador and the consul of Hungary's embassy in Buenos Aires to personally correspond with local authorities to enable Mr. Tóásó's return to Hungary as soon as possible.
The Hungarian national was sentenced to five years and ten months in jail by a Bolivian court for taking part in an armed rebellion together with his accomplice, Bolivian-Croatian dual citizen Mario Tadic. As both men had already served their sentence prior to the court decision, they are expected to be released soon.
The case broke out in April 2009 after police raided the hideout of a suspected terrorist cell apparently planning the assassination of President Evo Morales and violent secession from the country at a hotel in the city of Santa Cruz. During the police raid, Bolivian-Hungarian-Croatian national Eduardo Rózsa Flores, Transylvanian Hungarian Ãrpád Magyarosi and Irishman Michael Dwyer were killed and the two survivors Mr. Tóásó and Mr. Tadic were arrested. The pair have been kept in custody together with the other 37 defendants in the case ever since.
The Foreign Ministry's statement recalls that Hungarian diplomacy had repeatedly spoken out at various UN, EU, European Parliament and Organization of American States venues and called upon Bolivian authorities to respect Előd Tóásó and provide him with a fair trial in accordance with international obligations.
