A Hungarian appeals court will make its final verdict Thursday in the case of a man convicted of terrorism for throwing stones at police and trying to enter the country illegally, at the height of the migrant crisis in 2015. Amnesty International says his actions can in no way be interpreted as terrorism, and says the case is the first big test since the European Parliament voted last week to sanction Hungary over its record on fundamental rights. Henry Ridgwell reports.
