  1. West #Germany #OTD in 1977. An example of how the "free world" was treating its opponents in prisons.

    “I am afraid of being suicided in the same way as Ulrike. If there is no letter from me and I’m found dead; in this case it is an assassination.”
    -Gudrun Ensslin to her lawyers

    ...On October 17, a West German anti-terrorist commando stormed the airliner in Mogadishu, killing three guerillas and wounding the fourth. The next morning it was announced that Gudrun Ensslin and Andreas Baader were dead, having allegedly committed suicide. It was also announced that Jan-Carl Raspe and fellow RAF prisoner Irmgard Möller had “attempted suicide.” Raspe subsequently died of his wounds.

    An examination of the contradictions surrounding the alleged “suicides” of Gudrun Ensslin, Jan-Carl Raspe, and Andreas Baader, contradictions no less numerous than in the case of Ulrike Meinhof’s death, tends to support the conclusion that the deaths were in fact murders.

    Baader and Raspe died as a result of gunshot wounds, Ensslin as a result of hanging, and the sole survivor, Irmgard Möller, suffered repeated stab wounds inflicted with a kitchen knife.

    "As soon as a single #Palestinian activist showed up at an anti-#DakotaAccessPipeline camp on the edge of the Standing Rock reservation in 2016, intelligence analysts for the mercenary security firm #TigerSwan were on alert.

    "El-Zabri, the Palestinian activist surveilled at Standing Rock, was among 79 people arrested this week while protesting at the #UniversityOfTexas at #Austin. 'It really felt like the same as Standing Rock, when we were facing the police,' he said.

    "''There was a whole army that looked like it was at war in #RiotGear. They eventually used #TearGas and #PepperSpray.'

    "'They're afraid of what we have to say and the people that we can touch,' said Cornell senior Yanenowi Logan, who is Deer Clan from the #SenecaNation and has been negotiating with campus administrators.

    "Logan said that by standing up for Gazans, she and other Native organizers are also standing up for themselves. 'We want to be able to show them that, hey, we're still here,' she said. 'You can try to kill us. You can burn our crops. You can do whatever you want to do, but we're still going to persist.'"
