Christian Summermann, autonomous antifascist prisoner serving time for militantly opposing nazi demonstrations in Berlin, has been transferred to another prison.
His move was supposed to take place much earlier (the actual prison has slightly better conditions than the previous one), but it was actually delayed after prison autorithies moved him to inside the so-called "junkie-department" of Tegel prison.
Their reason were that too much water was present in his last urine-test which happened before his move : a tactic, they said, to cover the presence of drug traces.
Christian does not take any drugs, no need to say this was an effort by the prison authorities to make his life even harder, having already recently declared how he is an "unrecuperable" prisoner because "his hate against fascist structures is too big and he is not able to keep it within the border of legality".
He has been defined as "impossible to be re-socialized", therefore it has been negated to him the possibility to come out after 2/3 of the time, or to work outside and come back to prison at the night.
As soon as his friends and supporters heard about his move to this other part of the prison, 2 rallies in front of the jail has been organised within one week where people showed what they think about such a decision and how they stand for Christian.
Some other anonymous supporters decided to show their support by paintbombing the shop of the prison.
Mainly because of all this pressure,and negative publicity for the Tegel prison, he underwent a second urine-test which proved to be ok.
Therefore he finally got moved to the other prison :
