Dear friends
ELP has just learnt that a German antifa activist, Andrea Neff, has been jailed for four months for merely having pepperspray on her (something which is actually LEGAL in Germany!). She now faces additional prison time for breaching probation conditions imposed on her after she attended an anti-nazi rally with some eggs full of pepper.
Please send urgent letters of support to:
Andrea was in a neighbourhood in southeast Berlin where a Neo-Nazi demonstration was taking place. On the 1st December 2007 the Munich local court sentenced her to 4 months without probation for having pepperspray on her person, which is usually legal. Following this sentence, she faced also the loss of a precedent probation of three months, when she was caught with some eggs full of pepper during an anti-fascist action on 1st of May 2005, in Berlin. During a trial on the 31st of July, under which several accusations against her got regrouped, she was sentenced to five more months more.
