GERMANY: Total objector Thomas Kroll in fifth arrest


Total objector Thomas R. Kroll (GER12347), who spent most of the time since 1 July 2002 in military arrest, was sentenced to a fifth arrest on 11 September 2002. Although he already served 63 days in military arrest - the usual time for total objectors, before their case is handed over to the civilian prosecution - he was again sentenced to 10 more days of military arrest. At the same time, he got the charge from the prosecution for several cases of refusing orders. The trial is set for 19 September 2002, 9:30am, and will take place at the Amtsgericht Laufen. Thomas Kroll is charged with several cases of refusing orders (Art 20 Military Penal Law), which carries a maximum sentence of three years imprisonment.
