The convicted left-wing extremist Lina E. will be released from prison early. According to the Federal Court of Justice (BGH), it has rejected an appeal by the Federal Public Prosecutor General against the suspension of her remaining sentence on probation. The 3rd Criminal Senate of the Federal Supreme Court thus confirmed a corresponding decision by the Dresden Higher Regional Court.
According to an expert opinion, Lina E. has a "favorable prognosis" to prove herself in freedom, the Federal Supreme Court announced. "This applies in particular because she has credibly renounced her former violent tendencies, has conducted herself properly in prison and has a viable future perspective."
