In the first 25 days of the trial since it first being in September 2009, the court has been hearing evidence against the three accused, Axel, Florian, and Oliver. Specifically, that they had, supposedly as members of the “militant group”, set out to destroy vehicles of the Germany Federal Armed Forces in Brandenburg an der Havel (70 km outside of Berlin). Since February 2009, the focus of the court proceedings has shifted: they now are being accused of “membership in the militant group”, under the auspices of §129 of the German Criminal Code.

"We support the call for the acquittal of the three antimilitarists."

Freundeskreis Videoclips produced a 7 min clip on the case, German with English subtitles:

Florian L., Axel H. und Oliver R. were arrested after they allegedly tried to set fire on military trucks, made by MAN-AG in Brandenburg/Havel. The same day, Andrej Holm was arrested and flats and places of employment of three others were searched. The constructions that are intended to justify the accusation „Membership of a terrorist organization according to §§129a StGB (‚militant group (mg)‘).” are as adventurous as the paragraph 129a itself.
