Care for "national political<br />
prisoners"<br />
"HNG News" wish to<br />
document "political<br />
persecution" of neo-Nazis<br />
and mutual support; however, no programmatic agreements are<br />
made beyond the association’s stated purpose of "prisoner welfare".<br />
The purpose of "national prisoner welfare work" is not so much of<br />
a charitable nature, but rather serves to tie the imprisoned<br />
’comrades’ to the right-extremist scene. This purpose is also<br />
served by the "List of Prisoners" which is published regularly in<br />
"Nachrichten der HNG" ("HNG News") and is designed to enable<br />
detainees to establish and maintain contacts.<br />
At the same time, "HNG News" intends to document the "arbitrary<br />
persecution of national citizens by the ruling establishment"<br />
5) ; in this context, the paper also attacks the democratic consti-<br />
tutional state:<br />
"The fight against the political opponent with means pertaining<br />
to the judiciary apparatus is the last step on the path to<br />
establishing a police state and ideological dictatorship."<br />
("Nachrichten der HNG", special edition, early 1999, p. 23)<br />
Since January, after his release from prison, Hans-Christian<br />
WENDT has again been appointed editor of "Nachrichten der<br />
HNG". He declared that, in a time in which German patriots were<br />
increasingly harassed and deprived of their civil rights 6) , he<br />
would focus his activity on providing legal advice to the comrades;<br />
brochures and instruction sheets, dealing with the usual<br />
tricks and nastiness of the political persecutors and their helpers<br />
from the penitentiaries of the FRG judiciary, were designed to<br />
make everyday life in jail easier 7) . In addition, with the title<br />
"Important legal guidance for political prisoners", WENDT announced<br />
that he would establish a ’counter-public(ity)’:<br />
"[Our] reports about the FRG jails are intended to publicize,<br />
time and again, the recurrent arbitrary acts of the law<br />
enforcement system against national prisoners."<br />
