Political Prisoner Alfred Schaefer Gets 18-More Months in a German Jail for Defending Himself in Court

On Thursday Alfred was in court to face new charges for the crime of speaking in his defense during our trial last year. The prosecutor wanted 24 months, he received 18 months. The prosecutor says that is too light and is appealing. To be clear, these 18 months are in addition to the 38 months that he is already sentenced with.

The law says you cannot say XYZ, then in court you cannot explain how you reached your conclusions of XYZ, nor are you allowed to bring forth evidence to support your conclusions, because when you do, you do new crime because your words can be heard by the public in the gallery. That is what Alfred did. New crime committed in the public courtroom, while defending himself.
