Prisoners political

Soon after Otto Ambros first went to Oswiecem, Birkenau was established to house the people of the town whom Ambros had recommended to be "evacuated" and placed in a new concentration camp. In those days the main camp — still predominantly for political prisoners — was kept as "pure" as possible by having the Jews and Poles in the main camp transferred to Birkenau. The first killings at Birkenau were the explosive result of the mistreatment of Birkenau inmates enroute to and from the main camp and to and from the buna plant. From the center of the buna plant to the center of Camp Birkenau was almost five miles, and their return at night was extremely painful and dangerous. Over the whole distance they dragged tools, firewood, heavy caldrons, and the bodies of those who had died or been killed during the working day. Others who could not maintain the brisk pace of the march were knocked down and beaten to death. 

This was a fateful moment for the Copt. The letter threw Cagliostro into the maelstrom of subversive politics. He was helped by the fact that literature from the Bastille had already become a best-selling horror genre— just as the prison itself had already become a symbol of archaic despotism. Readers of the letter on both sides of the Channel expected to find descriptions of torture, isolation, and terrible hardship and he obliged them. He told them at one point that he d choose the death penalty rather than face another six months in that Miltonic hell. 

As noted in Section II of this report, people serving time in prison — especially for drug offenses — would appear to be prime candidates for coercive pharmacotherapy. Prisoners are politically weak and generally regarded unsympathetically by the general populace. Further, prisoners appear to be one of the express targets for compassionate coercion, which uses the criminal justice system to get people into treatment. " ...

Each traffic equilibrium is better for everyone than any other pattern of behavior. In the first erosion story, one equilibrium is worse for everyone, that, namely, in which no reforestation is undertaken. Fortunately, there is also another equilibrium, which is preferred by everybody to anything else they could do. In the Prisoner s Dilemma, there is only one equilibrium, which is worse for everybody than a cooperative (nonequilibrium > pattern. We can illustrate this case by a third erosion story, in which we suppose that erosion occurs on a given plot if and only if trees are cut down on both adjoining plots. Whatever others do, it is in the interest of the individual peasant to fell trees on his plot, since in doing that he harms only his neighbors, not himself. The equilibrium outcome is that the land is lost to the lake, unless a political solution is found. 

Here the court openly admits that it sentenced Rudolf to a prison term because of his scholarly convictions which allegedly render him an incorrigible criminal. No more proof is needed to show that Rudolf is politically persecuted in Germany. 

In its decision, the court made no secret of the fact that it held revisionist thinking itself to be reprehensible and punishable by increasing the severity of the sentence.664 However, the sentence against Rudolf to 14 months prison without probation was based on the false contention that Rudolf had at least knowingly contributed to the political commentary contained in Remer s version of his expert report. The court justified its sentence with a tiresomely assembled chain of proofs amounting to 240 pages which in decisive points departed from the actual evidence and which completely ignored the contradictory evidence on the main point of the defense. 

This clinical result is obvious in the great majority of patients, some of whom are reduced to a zombielike state. It is documented by recent research studies involving the atypical antipsychotic Risperdal and other neuroleptics. It is also confirmed by studies of animals, normal human beings, political dissenters, and rebellious children as well as by studies of the inmates of mental hospitals, institutions for the developmentally disabled, nursing homes, and prisons. Given an effective therapeutic dose, all human beings and animals alike are emotionally stifled and subdued by antipsychotic drugs. 

The last straw is provided by Oppitz, who criticizes that after their release from prison some of those who had been convicted of NS crimes are monitored with an eye to their political activity - an unlawful and no doubt unparalleled act of police-state surveillance.307 Clearly our state desires to... 

By negotiations between British and German officers, British troops took over from the SS and the Wehrmacht the task of guarding the vast concentration camp at Belsen, a few miles northwest of Celle, which contains 60,000 prisoners, many of them political. This has been done because typhus is rampant in the camp and it is vital that no prisoners be released until the infection is checked. ... 

After the beginning of the war, new inmates categories were added to the political prisoners (known as Reds in camp jargon due to the red identifying triangles sewn on their uniforms), the Greens and Asocials (or Blacks ). Prisoners of war - particularly Soviets - were interned in several camps another group consisted of Jehova s Witnesses, who were punished for refusal to do military service.41... 

In his capacity as Head of the Soviet Communist Party and General Secretary of the Ukrainian Communist Party, Khrushchev on June 24, 1941, ordered the liquidation of the political prisoners in Lvov (Lemberg). The NKVD then began with the mass murders in the prisons of Lemberg and other places in the western Ukraine. The Soviets also laid the blame for these massa-...
