Trial of anarchists in Dusseldorf, West Germany

Mar. 27 Anarchists Trials In West Germany: Two trials are awaking interest in the Federal Republic of Germany at the moment. In Dusseldorf the first trial of a member of the anarchist underground organisation known as Baader Meinhof Group has begun. The group Schkind the German public with several acts of force since Andreas Baader was freed by force in May 1970 in Berlin. Almost every day the German Press brings new headlines about the group which uses the same tactics as the South American Coty guerrilla. The farmer journalist Andreas Baader wrote a letter from the underground some days ago which he signed with his own fingerprint. With his letter he announced increased combat action. In Dusseldorf a former member of the group, Karl Heinz Euhalnd who was arrested by police on December 20th 1970 is on trial. Among other things he incriminated the former Berlin licitor Horst Mhisr of whom he says that he took part in many bank robberies of the Baader Meinhof group. Mahler, who was thought to have taken part in the freeing of Baader, is in a Berlin jail at the moment because he is believed to have taken part in a bank robbery. In jail he wrote some time ago that the Baader Meinholf Group is necessarily criminal'. The court in Dusseldorf is heavily guarded and Ruhland is hermetically sealed off. He makes his statements behind bulletproof glass, because retaliation attacks by the anarchists are expected. ubland is planned as chief witness of the group.
