Prosecutors Order Far-Right Activist Liebich to Begin Sentence in Chemnitz Women’s Prison

Officials cite the registered gender under the Self-Determination Act as the basis for the initial placement, with final housing to follow a security assessment at intake.

Overview

  • The Halle public prosecutor’s office delivered a summons directing Marla‑Svenja Liebich to start serving an 18‑month term at the Chemnitz women’s facility, with no specific report date disclosed.
  • Authorities said the assignment reflects Liebich’s Saxony residence and her legally registered gender, which guides the initial choice of institution.
  • Prison officials will conduct an intake interview to assess risks to security and order, and a transfer could follow if necessary.
  • Liebich’s conviction for incitement to hatred, defamation and insult from July 2023 is final after failed appeal and revision.
  • In a related case, the Berlin regional court held that Julian Reichelt’s description of Liebich as “not a woman” is protected opinion.
