This website deals with the case of the five Hungarian boys from Temerin who are sentenced to 61 years of imprisonment. On 26 June 2004, the five boys have beaten a man with Serbian nationality in Temerin, who provoked them beforehand – serious corporal damages were caused according to the minutes made out by the state organs. It is a fact that the man was beaten, however there is no precedent for the punishment imposed on them, it reflects the bias of the court. (The concordant opinion of many people is that there was need for such a serious judgement because at that time the anti-Hungarian incidents in Vojvodina have rather multiplied, and it was necessary to counterbalance this somehow.)
It is worthy to compare the Draconian punishment with the judgement brought in the Sarnyai case that has happened in Magyarkanizsa, namely the murderer killed József Sarnyai with premeditation. He shot five bullets into his victim; even so he received only 6 years imprisonment. But we could bring up the case of that Hungarian young man from Újvidék (Novi Sad) as an example, who with some years before, after he was mistreated seriously, and forced into the water of Danube with a pistol, then tried to strangle from a boat by pushing him repeatedly under the water. In this case, six of the participants of the attempted murder were sentenced altogether 15 years in jail. Likewise, Serbian perpetrators mistreated Mátyás Kovács from Gombos, as a result of which he has suffered serious, permanent impairment (it was necessary to remove his injured spleen). From the two suspects only one was sentenced
(he has received 1 year and 10 months of imprisonment).
The punishment of the boys from Temerin comprehends to the punishments imposed on the war criminals: István Máriás (15 years), Zsolt Illés (13 years), Zoltán Szakál (11 years and 6 months), József Uracs (11 years and 6 months), and Árpád Horváth (10 years).
