It is not enough for them to lock 89-year-old dissident Ursula Haverbeck between serious criminals in a prison cell at Bielefeld-Brackwede Correctional Facility.
They cannot bear that Ursula Haverbeck does not lose her zest for life even in these dark days, that she defies imprisonment unbroken.
Now the system is apparently swinging to the next cruelty and planning an odyssey lasting several days, in which it is unclear whether Ursula Haverbeck will survive her.
But first things first:
On Wednesday, September 12, 2018, Ursula Haverbeck will be appealed before the Hamburg Regional Court,
in the first instance, she received a ten-month sentence in November 2015.
As if this conviction justice were not bad enough, the system has come up with something "special" for the new trial:
An almost ninety year old woman from the Bielefeld-Brackwede correctional facility is to spend five days "on transport", as the deportation of prisoners is colloquially called,
before she arrives for negotiation in Hamburg, then she is to be brought back the same way.
This trip will not only take place at temperatures, which may well be around 30 degrees in September, but apparently under the conditions,
and are already perceived by normal prisoners as incriminating:
In a prison bus, with many other prisoners, Haverbeck is apparently to be transported from prison to prison via the "regular" transport routes, so that the approximately 250 kilometres between Bielefeld and Hamburg will not be completed in 2 or 3, perhaps even 4 hours, but in 5 days (!),
one of which will be more incriminating than the other. 5 days during which Ursula Haverbeck will see 5 different prisons,
constant body searches, waiting times in collection cells and endless sitting around in the mass prison transporters included.
What is already a physical imposition for regular prison inmates represents a state attack on their physical integrity in the 89-year-old Ursula Haverbeck.
Such a journey is not only a health risk, it is a conscious attack by the system on Ursula Haverbeck and is apparently accepted with approval,
that the age-related frail lady could not survive such a journey under extreme stress.
