Last generation: Activist released from prison after five months

Karl Braig was the first activist of the last generation to go to prison. Meanwhile, he is free again – but the case is far from over for him: the reason for this is a legal complaint.

After five months in prison, climate activist Karl Braig is free. He deliberately decided against the probation requirement, which would have saved him the prison.

If he had paid the probation fee of 500 euros, he would not have had to go to prison, but there were reasons why the 69-year-old activist refused.
