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 />

("Nachrichten der HNG", special edition, early 1999, p. 29)<br />
