German court expected to rule on Red Army parole
A German court is today expected to decide whether to parole one of the last jailed members of the Red Army Faction – a case that has helped revive painful memories of the left-wing terrorist group’s 1970s heyday.
Brigitte Mohnhaupt, 57, has petitioned to be released in late March after serving 24 years of a life sentence for multiple murders. At a closed hearing in January at the Stuttgart state court, prosecutors supported her bid.
