Supporters of alleged former member of the Red Army Faction (RAF), Daniela Klette, denounce a tightening of her detention conditions at Vechta women’s prison. Incarcerated since February 2024 after decades in hiding, she is being tried in several proceedings linked to robberies and different actions, including attacks attributed to the RAF against American and German institutions. According to her lawyers, she suffered prolonged isolation, constant surveillance, frequent searches and particularly strict transfer conditions, including the past use of a weighted vest, now contested by the courts. Furthermore, she is the target of censorship in detention, with irregular distribution of the press limiting her access to information. On the 61st day of the trial, April 8, 2026, Daniela Klette’s defense lawyers filed a motion to summon the director of the Vechta women’s prison, Dr. Katharina Tebben, so that she could be questioned as the person responsible for these measures taken against Daniela Klette.
