Overview

• Lina E., convicted in 2023 for attacks on far-right individuals, faces a potential re-evaluation of her case after appeals by both her defense and the prosecution.
• The Bundesgerichtshof (BGH) in Karlsruhe will announce its decision on March 19, determining whether parts of the case will return to the Dresden court for further review.
• E.'s original sentence of five years and three months, issued by the Oberlandesgericht Dresden, included charges of membership in a criminal organization and violent assaults.
• The defense argues the sentence was overly harsh, while the prosecution seeks to overturn a partial acquittal and redefine E.'s alleged leadership role in the group.
• The case has sparked public demonstrations, with supporters criticizing the judicial process and highlighting broader concerns about state actions against anti-fascist activists.
