As previously reported, we (Nathalie and Manuel) were unexpectedly released from prison on September 22.
(Below is a brief update on our release and the first few weeks afterward, followed by the subsequent publication of an open letter from prison dated August 2025).
At around 12:30 p.m., Nathalie’s cell door opened and a guard informed her that she was being released. She was not allowed to see her fellow prisoners, who were either locked up or at work at the time, except for a few to whom she was allowed to give small amounts of food. Then she was escorted out at around 4 p.m.
Manuel was notified of his release around 2 p.m. after his yard time. Since his cell block was open at the time he was able to give away more or less all of his belongings and say goodbye to his fellow inmates.
Before we were released from custody, a police officer from K43 was waiting for each of us, for Manuel it was KHK Unglaub and for Nathalie it was KOK Meyer, to give us a so-called “dangerous person warning.” Essentially, this consisted of warning us not to commit any crimes—not even “minor offenses” (KOK Meyer)—and referring us to an in-house de-radicalization program. We were assured that the doors of K43 would always be open to us.
