German Political Prisoner Alfred Schaefer Arrested Again As Flight Risk: Political Police Steal His Laptop & Cellphone
October 7, 2025. Minutes ago, the phone rang and I saw Alfred’s number. It was, however, not Alfred’s voice which greeted me. His loyal and lovely wife called to let me know that their home had been raided by the police once again, at 6 o’clock this morning.
How could this be, I asked? The judge had released Alfred, and there had been no further proceedings since then. No – it was based on a different set of charges in a different jurisdiction. It was a different case. Here is the story.
The court in Munich has been compiling a case against Alfred since quite some time, and they decided that he was a “flight risk” because of the seriousness and extent of his transgressions. The list of accusations to be investigated – all of which are “speech violations” – comprised a 20 page document. After the house search, they took away Alfred’s cell phone, his laptop, some USB sticks and of course the man himself — Alfred Schaefer. He is now in “U-Haft or Untersuchungshaft”, which means in jail on remand while they conduct their investigation.
Their documents are never signed. Not the arrest warrant, nor the list of charges issued by the judge, nor any other paper-work contained a signature.
Perhaps of a more trivial nature: Alfred’s wife noted that all the house raids which had been done (and there have been enough to notice a pattern) have been done on Tuesdays or Thursdays. Today is Tuesday.
I will post Alfred’s mailing address on the Political Prisoners page of both the truthandjusticeforgermans.com and freespeechmonika.com websites as soon as I have that information. I have blind-copied a few people with this update, and I ask you please to feel free to share this email to your lists. And check the websites please.
sincerely, Monika Schaefer
