The climate activists took part in the forest occupation in Ottendorf-Okrilla.

A gravel mine was to be expanded in Ottendorf-Okrilla, Germany. As a result, climate activists occupied a piece of forest for several weeks, which was to be cut down for this purpose. This was released by police in February.

A lawsuit was filed against the forest squatters for resisting law enforcement. However, no one knows who the suspects are. Because: The activists refuse to reveal their identities.

One defendant did not appear at the trial

During the May 8 trial, the defendants continued to keep their names secret. They were named UP Heibo 03, UP Heibo 14 and UP Heibo 13. “UP” stands for unknown person.

According to “Bild”, UP Heibo 03 did not appear on the hearing date. After posting a bond of 800 francs and his lawyer’s address, he was released from prison as there was no risk of escape.

His lawyer, Mark Feititzsch (48), appeared for the trial. He also refused to disclose his client’s personal information. He is not afraid of a search of his office. “That would be highly illegal,” he told the paper.

Investigations are underway

As the ‘image’ continues to write, there are the first research results about the personal data of the suspect. Further investigations are underway. As soon as the result is known, a new trial date will be set. The Public Prosecution Service must decide on an order subject to periodic penalty payments of 800 euros.

However, spokeswoman for the court and director of the court Gesine Tews (52) says to the ‘Bild’: ‘We may have to accept that the fine cannot be enforced. Without knowing who that is and whether he has already committed a crime, there is of course a gap in the jurisprudence in a judgment. The alternative would be impunity, which would also be unjustifiable.”

Not an isolated case

As early as 2018, a German climate activist refused to reveal her name. Lawyer Udo Vetter told the “Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger” at the time: “No one is obliged to tell a court their identity. Whoever refuses to give his personal data does not commit a crime. It is an administrative offense punishable by a fine of up to 1000 euros. »

Anonymous suspects can only be arrested if there is a risk of going into hiding. (Mrs)
