The Persecution of Reiner Fuellmich Indicates the Rise of a New Nazi Germany

Peter Koenig


For 11 months, Dr. Reiner Fuellmich, German Civil Rights lawyer, has been unjustly retained in prison in pre-trail detention that exceeds the permissible time. Like Julian Assange, Dr. Fuellmich is imprisoned without evidence, trial, and conviction. The German Gestapo State has simply thrown him in a dungeon. He may leave prison for courtroom appearances only in handcuffs and foot shackles, and accompanied by two armed guards. In this way the Gestapo German government creates the impression that Dr. Fuellmich is a dangerous person, which will little doubt bias a jury when the rigged case goes to trial.

He has committed no crime, has not been convicted, but is a political prisoner, waiting for a political trial. If it were in what the west arrogantly calls a third world country, it would be named a “Kangaroo Court with a Kangaroo Trial”.

A few days ago Reiner’s mother passed away. She was sick and in her last days. Reiner asked the Court for permission to spend the last hours with his mother to say good-by. He got permission only under the condition that he be handcuffed, shackled and accompanied by two armed guards.

Reiner refused. He did not want his mother to suffer in her last moments of life, seeing her distinguished son in these inhumane conditions imposed by the German police state. Were the Nazis any more heartless than the current German government?
