Left-Extremist Endeavours

Despite gains in membership, the organization ended up in financial
straits, due to growing expenses for its support of German
and foreign violence-inclined left-extremist offenders. Through
fund-raising appeals and a recruitment drive under the motto
"5000 plus X", the organization tried to start the year 2000 with
more than 5,000 members. The RH demonstrated its solidarity
even with terrorist perpetrators of violence in a statement addressed
by its National Executive Committee to the Austrian
authorities with the request that Andrea KLUMP who was on the
wanted list under a warrant of arrest for presumed membership of
the "Rote Armee Fraktion" (RAF - "Red Army Faction") and
arrested in Vienna, be not extradited to the Federal Republic of
Germany.
