Péter Renner

From the Hungarian Wikipedia page

Péter Renner (Brno, 1933 - Budapest, 3 February 1958) was a Hungarian revolutionary, victim of retaliation after the 1956 Revolution.

His mother was Jewish, which meant that during his Second World War his family was deported by the Germans, but they managed to survive deportation. In 1945, after the Beneš Decrees, they fled to Hungary, Péter Renner graduated from Esztergom and studied cartography for two years. In 1953 it was classified as military service, but a year later, the military court sentenced him to half a year in prison for secrecy. After the punishment was released, he was released in 1955, but was sentenced to another six months for a foreign currency offense.

On October 23, 1956, he was among the demonstrators and was present at the collapse of the statue of Stalin. Csepelen handed out leaflets, which was why the ÁVH detained the following day on 24 October. He was detained for 5 days and was regularly abused, and then released on October 29. After his release, he left for the Kilián barracks, but the Práter Street resistors were arrested and confirmed. Having verified himself, he stayed with them and took part in the fighting on their side. Soon Gergely Pongrátz, commander-in-chief of Corvin's subordinates, called the commander of the Corvin interceptors and the headquarters of the National Guard.

He fought in November 9, and fled to Austria on 26 November. Here he contacted the Viennese emigrant Hungarian Revolutionary Council. The aim of the Council was to maintain the idea of ​​the revolution and to help the people of illegality and the families of those arrested. On February 9, 1957, he returned home, contacted the Hungarian workers' councils, and when he was informed enough, he wanted to return, but Miklós Szabó, a small-town politician, was informed by the interior organs of his intentions and arrested on his return journey planned on the 27th of February. The court sentenced him to death on charges of driving an anti-state organization and executed by rope.
