(Fingers crossed Sweden's Vera Oredsson, Edward Reed Fields of the US and Germany's Ursula Haverbeck and Horst Mahler will follow him soon) Swedish neonazi politician Vera Oredsson charged with incitement against groups of people. Her name isn't said but it's said it's a 95-year-old woman who's been involved in nazi/neonazi movements since youth and has been in leading positions in neonazi groups, which means it's her. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,763 Posted June 20, 2023 On 01/09/2022 at 13:17, arghton said: They've finally gotten the expert opinions: Lubomir Strougal, 97, only suffers from "mild dementia" but can't understand the criminal proceedings. can only understand the meaning of criminal proceedings in a very general, formal and imprecise way, and only at a certain time of day and in the calm of the home environment. Jan Fojtík, 94, suffers from senile dementia and is in even worse condition than Strougal. Vratislav Vajnar, 91, suffers from a mild cognitive impairment, but well enough to be prosecuted. Vratislav Vajnar, Interior Minister of Czechoslovakia in the 1980s accused of border killings now suffers from a severe but very stable case of DEAD. Edit: I think it's very possible he topped himself, a medical assessment was going to be done sometime soon. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
