Our companion Benni has been in custody in the Leipzig JVA since January 5th. He is accused of having thrown an incendiary device at the USK Dachau thugs on Day X in Leipzig, during the protests in response to the verdict in the Antifa-Ost trial. In addition to the accusation, which has been spread thousands of times, of a particularly serious case of breach of the peace for simply taking part in the demonstration, he is accused of attempted murder.
The investigation and the arrest warrant became known on November 23rd, 2023, when the cops once again carried out a large-scale raid against the autonomous scene in Leipzig and tried in vain to kidnap him from a court case regarding the LuWi-71 occupation using a masked MEK. Benni, the comrade condemned to pre-trial detention, did not appear in court that day, which turned out to be a great stroke of luck. He turned himself in on January 5, 2024. But we can't talk about voluntary behavior here, but rather about the bitter realization that freedom ends as soon as your name appears on the detention order. Money is needed for legal fees, life behind bars and solidarity work!
