Crimes - Criminals - Judges - Lawyers - Trials

Jan. 01, 1972 - Anarchy Trial In Dusseldorf: The trial has begun in Dusseldorf, Germany, against a member of the anarchist underground organisation known as Baader Meinhoff Group The Group shocked the German public with several acts of violence since Andreas Baader was freed by force in May, 1970 in Berlin. Almost every day the German Press carries headlines about the Group, which uses the same tactics as the South American city guerillas. Former journalists, Andreas Baeder wrote a letter from the underground some days ago which he signed with his own fingerprint, in which he announced increased combat action. In Dusseldorf, the former member of the Group, Karl Heinz Ruhland, who was arrested by police on Dec 20, 1970, is on trial. The court in Dusseldorf is heavily guarded, and Ruhland is hermetically sealed off. He makes his statements behind bullet-proof glass because retaliationn attacks by the anarchists are expected. Photo shows Andreas Baader, who was freed by force on May 14, 1970 and who is said to be the boss of the Baader-Meinhoff Group'. He is heavily incriminated by the statements of Ruhland. Some days ago he wrote a letter saying that he wouldn't think of stopping to fight against the existing society
