Female Prisoners List

Welcome to this page. Just to say at the beginning, because it is the most important: We NEED YOUR HELP, to update the list, so please send us infos and addresses of female political prisoners (also when prisoners are transferred or leave jail). This would be quite helpful. Thank you very much in advance. Also, please consider, that this page wants to support female political prisoners, but often, this takes a lot of time, enthusiasm, money etc. So, please don't be too tough, if we fail to update or if we have done something wrong in your opinion, like supporting persons you have objections to. Just get in touch, and we try to improve as soon as possible.

Also, we want to stress, that there are quite a lot of male prisoners needing help, too. Please look at the webpages of ABC and other support groups to find out more about them.

As you may see not all prisoners are anarchists or declare themselves being anarchists. We don't exclusively support anarchist prisoners, but nearly all those in prison because of their activities in the class struggle against capitalism, sexism, fascism, racism and so on. But also those people who got politicised by their stay in jail. Supporting prisoners doesn't always mean that we fully agree with their political views, ideas and actions, but we support them nevertheless as we see international solidarity as most important. But we definately don't support fascist, racist, etc. prisoners!!!

Get in contact with class struggle and anarchist prisoners, write them, support them and their solidarity groups.

• Sabine E., Kammergericht Berlin, 1. Strafsenat AZ: 1-4/2000, Elßholzstr. 30 - 33, 10781 Berlin
  Sabine is currently standing trial together with Rudolf, Matthias, Harald and Axel . They have been in prison on remand for over two years now. The last day of the trial was planned to be the 28th of february 2002, but it is still going on. They are accussed by one dodgy witness , who gets
  loads of benefits by accusing the others of all possible and unpossible imaginable crimes. The trial has also been marked by faulty proceedings of the public prosecutors. As they are accussed of membership in the RZ, (Revolutionary Cells/ Red Zora.) for crimes committed in the 80s. Up to now , the German state has never achieved to prosecute nor prove membership of anybody at all with connection to the RZ, so the trial is seen as a bit of a desperate revenge action by the state. Sabine has declared to talk about crimes committed in the 80s at the end of january in agreement with the others and is probably released now, because the sentence has been agreed on not over three years and they had been in prison on remand for this time.
  More information about the trial is available from their solidarity campaign group: Berliner Bündnis für Freilassung, Soli-Büro im Mehringhof, Gneisenaustr. 2a, 10961 Berlin, Tel: +49 - 30 - 693 56 70, Fax: +49 - 30 - 69 50 86 43, e-mail: info@freilassung.de, http://www.freilassung.de/otherl/eng.html
