Free Verena Becker!

Today 29 July Juche 99, the Supreme Court of the Federal Republic of Germany has ordered that Verena Becker be arrested. Comrade Becker was involved in the revolutionary organisation, Der Rote Armee Fraktion, or the Red Army Faction. She participated in revolutionary activities alongside Gudrun Ensslin, Ulrike Meinhof, Andreas Baader and Pieter-Jurgen Boocke. In 1977, Comrade Becker was arrested during a shoot out with officers of the Police Department of the Federal Republic of Germany. She was tried for six counts of attempted murder during the shoot out. She was released from prison in 1989, and was pardoned by President Wiesacker.
This past April, the German Federal Court announced that they had evidence proving that Verena Becker was involved in the assassination of West German businessman, Siegrfried Buback. Today, the court ordered Comrade Becker must stand trial. I highly doubt the evidence that the Federal Government has proves that she participated in the assassination of the West German capitalist. I deplore the German governments attack on our revolutionary Comrade. Since her releast in 1989, Comrade Becker was living a quiet life under an assumed name outside of Hamburg, Germany. Free VERENA BECKER!
