Neither guilty nor innocent - On the situation of Andreas Krebs
Deutsch (original) · Auto-translated to English
Neither guilty nor innocent - against the logic of the state and its prisons We learned with sadness and anger that Andreas Krebs, who has been held captive in various prisons for over 20 years, had another stroke. In a cold prison cell in the Tegel prison, isolated from the people who support and love him, separated from possible places of warmth and relaxation. Anyone who has ever dealt with the conditions of prisoners knows - the Tegel prison is a particularly murderous machine in which people are systematically buried and cut off from all life. Placed on the outskirts of the city and hidden behind trees and walls, this cruel place and its prisoners should be forgotten in the hustle and bustle of Berlin. And for everyone who looks, the German state is trying to cover up its cruelty by using its judges and media to present us with the logic of guilt. It is clear to us - Andreas, like all other prisoners, is neither guilty nor innocent. We don't care what any court or any cops accuse him of. Like all of us, he is entitled to a life in freedom. We don't care what laws they come up with to legitimize all the violence, exploitation and harassment that the prisoners in Tegel are exposed to every day. In Andrea's words: "Only idiots believe in the justice of the prevailing judiciary. The judiciary is based on laws created by people to oppress people and is therefore necessarily repressive. Prison is the main disciplinary tool of any system based on slavery and exploitation to maintain an arbitrary order.Those who exercise power do not abide by any laws themselves." Our hatred is for the state and its henchmen. Our love and passion for freedom, life and all those who refuse to be broken by the cold and violence of prison. Andreas, that after so many years in prison you continue to find the strength to go on hunger strike, to speak to us outside and inside the prison walls, to defend your life and therefore humanity and to fight for freedom, gives us the hope that we can win. As New Casa, we believe that we can grow and grow together in the fight against imperialism and liberalism. In people like you we find the inspiration and strength to continue. We wish you lots of strength for your fight, Andreas. Freedom for Andreas and all prisoners. Neither Guilty Nor Innocent – Against the Logic of the State and Its Prisons With sadness and anger we have learned that Andreas Krebs, who has been held captive in various prisons for over 20 years, has suffered another stroke.In a cold prison cell at Tegel Correctional Facility, isolated from the people who support and love him, cut off from any possible sources of warmth and reCovery. Anyone who has ever looked into the conditions prisoners face knows this: Tegel Correctional Facility is a particularly murderous machine where people are systematically buried alive and cut off from all life.Situated on the outskirts of the city and hidden behind trees and walls, this cruel place—along with its prisoners—is meant to be forgotteninthe hustle of Berlin.And for all those who do look, the German state tries to conceal its cruelty by having its judges and media serve up the logic of guilt.For us, it's clear: Andreas, like all other prisoners, is neither guilty nor innocent.We don't care what any court or any cops accuse him of.Hey, like all of us, deserves a life of freedom.We don’t care what laws they come up with to legitimize all the violence, exploitation, and harassment to which the prisoners in Tegel are subjected every day.To put it in Andreas’s words:“Only idiots believe in the justice of the ruling judicial system. The judicial system is based on laws created by people to oppress other people and is therefore inevitably repressive. Prison is the most important means of discipline in any system based on subjugation and exploitation that seeks to maintain an arbitrary order. Those whoare inpower don'tobeyby any laws themselves. Our hatred is directed at the state and its henchmen.Our love and passion are for freedom and lifeand for all those who refuse to let the coldness and violence of prisons break them. Andreas, the fact that after so many years in prison you still find the strength to go on a hunger strike, to speak to us both outside and inside the prison walls, to defend your life —and thus humanity— and to fight for freedom, gives us hope that we can win.As New Casa, we believe that together we can grow stronger in the struggle against imperialism and liberalism.In people like you, we find the inspiration and strength to keep going.We wish you much strength for your struggle, Andreas.
