from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Manuela Happe (* 1956 ) is a former terrorist in the Red Army Faction (RAF). In March 1986 she was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment by the Stuttgart Higher Regional Court for attempted murder and membership in a terrorist organization . In 1995 she was released.

Life

She was arrested on June 22, 1984 in Deizisau ( Esslingen district ) and two years later sentenced to 15 years in prison for membership in a terrorist organization and attempted murder of police officers. Immediately before her arrest, Happe was seen hiding in an orchard in Deizisau. When a police patrol tried to check her, she opened fire on her, but was overwhelmed and arrested. It was suspected that she wanted to assassinate Klaus Knospe, who lived in Deizisau and was then a judge at the Stuttgart Higher Regional Court in the trial against RAF members Christian Klar and Brigitte Mohnhaupt . Since June 1984 Manuela Happe was housed in the high security wing of the Stuttgart penal institution, together with Eva Haule and Andrea Sievering . In 1989, Happe and Haule were transferred to prisons in other federal states.

Allegedly in March 1990 when Manuela Happe's cell was moved under the dirty laundry, 50 to 60 tightly rolled up pieces of paper were found as the first evidence of an illegal information system of the imprisoned RAF members. In order to force the immediate release of Irmgard Möller, who has been imprisoned for 22 years , Manuela Happe performed from July 27 to August 3, 1994 together with Eva Haule, Rolf Heissler , Sieglinde Hofmann , Christian Klar , Hanna Krabbe , Christine Kuby , Brigitte Mohnhaupt , Helmut Pohl , Adelheid Schulz , Rolf Clemens Wagner and Birgit Hogefeld and Irmgard Möller themselves on a hunger strike. In April 1995, Happe received "a favorable social prognosis" from the federal prosecutor's office "despite not inconsiderable concerns" and was released on April 25 on probation from the Aichach prison, in which she had been since 1989.
