Budapest, July 1 (MTI) – The Szeged regional court ruled on Friday that nine Syrian citizens and one Iraqi involved in riots at the Röszke border station in southern Hungary last autumn were guilty of illegally crossing the sealed border.

In a preliminary verdict, the court sentenced six men to 14 months in prison and ordered a four-year exclusion from Hungary.

A man who gave instructions to the crowd over a megaphone during the riots was sentenced to three years.

The court handed 12-month suspended prison sentences to two men in poor health and ruled that they be expelled from the country.

A woman who had been given protected status earlier was also given a 12-month suspended sentence but the prosecutor’s request to expel her was turned down.
