<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHorst\n Mahler’s long-awaited release from prison was not covered by the \nmainstream media. He’s one of those charismatic “heroes of the Right” \nthe establishment tries to “cancel.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n By Carolyn Yeager<\/p>\n\n\n\n THE \n84-YEAR-OLD LAWYER WAS RELEASED FROM A PRISON IN THE EASTERN STATE of \nBrandenburg on Monday afternoon, Oct. 26, a spokesman for the \nBrandenburg Justice Ministry said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n He was \nreleased under strict security conditions, which may have included ‘no \nwelcoming party’ because it seems there is practically a news blackout \non the whole affair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Mahler \nwas jailed in 2009 after being given a 10-year-plus sentence for \n\u201cincitement to racial hatred\u201d and for Holocaust denial \u2014 which is a \ncrime in Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mahler \nwas temporarily released in 2015 for medical reasons\u2014he suffers from \ndiabetes and reportedly has had two foot-leg amputations while in prison\n because of lack of exercise and inadequate diet, and is now confined to\n a wheelchair. After being released in 2015, he made ‘non-permitted’ \nstatements and traveled to Hungary where he requested political asylum. \nThe Hungarian authorities (under Orban) refused his request and \nextradited him back to Germany where he was transferred back to prison \nin 2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n New Charges<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mahler’s freedom may be once again cut short because German authorites are already coming up with new charges against him. Prosecutors in the city of Cottbus (on the German-Polish border) say they are putting out a new arrest warrant against him for remarks published online. A spokesman for the Potsdam Regional Court announced a total of six charges for texts, writings and publications, all of which are intended to constitute an offense of sedition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mahler \nhas denounced the new charges, saying his remarks were \u201cpurely opinions\u201d\n that he has never denied. “These are contributions to the \ninterpretation of contemporary events on an ideological basis,” said \nMahler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The \nabove information was gleaned from Deutsche Welle.com and The Teller \nReport.com. I will follow up on this news as I am able to find it. \nReaders’ legitimate contributions are welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ursula Haverbeck<\/strong> is now scheduled to be released on November 5, so we look forward to that also. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Horst Mahler<\/a>, Jailing free speech<\/a>, cancel culture<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lawyer Horst Mahler released from prison in Germany after serving 10 years Published by carolyn on Sun, 2020-11-01 12:48 Horst Mahler’s long-awaited release from prison was not covered by the mainstream media.
