Dear Friends,

We are happy to announce that today the European Court of Human Rights
arrived at the sensational verdict that Vera Stein, who in her youth was
psychiatrically imprisoned and slandered as being "hebephrenic", finally
after more than 20 years of legal battle, was a victim of the crime of
an illegal deprivation of her liberty in the psychiatric prison in Bremen!

This is an historic event because it is a victory on a European level at
the highest court in Europe and therefore being influential for the
judicial system in the whole of Europe.

For all German speaking members of the list, today on the First TV
channel at 17:15 h, in the daily magazine "Brisant" there will be a
report. In January 2000 our group helped to promote Vera Stein's case
by leading the producers of a legal advice program in the First German
TV channel, "ARD Ratgeber Recht" to her, which gave her case a lot of
publicity in TV for the first time. You can see the report, which is
still published by the channel as a live-stream:

(Please click on "Video zum Beitrag". After the film begins, it takes 1
minute until you can see Vera Stein speaking and her drawings, showing
how she was tortured in psychiatry.)

Please snowball this important message on your privat e-mail lists and
newsgroups!

Today is a happy day for all of us!
