    How about that free speech and democracy in Germany? Seems they revert to their old ways when someone doesn't follow their political narrative. This gal has lived in the Donbass for years....tells the truth....and bam!, the Germans decide to prosecute her....for....telling the truth. Facing up to 3 years in prison with no due process and no right to defense. Now that sounds like some nazi :icon_shithappens: right there.

    "German reporter Alina Lipp faces criminal charges and three years imprisonment because she reported on the situation in the Donbas region, where she sympathized with Russia. Currently living in Donetsk, Lipp saw her bank account frozen and raided for €1.600 without further explanation. German authorities say that she may not defend herself in court as that may thwart the investigation. (Image: YouTube Screenshot)
    A German independent journalist living in eastern Ukraine’s renegade Donbas area has been labeled a Russian terrorist, harassed, and criminally charged by German authorities for her pro-Russian reporting.

    Independent reporter, 28-year-old Alina Lipp, born to a German mother and a Russian father, has set her objective to report the Russian-Ukrainian conflict objectively.

    To this goal, she has undertaken several trips to the Crimea peninsula and the Donbas; the region where it all started; the Russian-speaking separatists have challenged Ukraine, a nation they deem a Nazi state.

    Lipp raised eyebrows in March this year, shortly after the Russian invasion, which both she and Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin calls a de-Nazification operation, over comments she made in a video that there were no atrocities committed by the Russians and that the Ukrainian hostilities against its own (Russian speaking) citizens over the past eight years should be highlighted."

    Behörden ermitteln wegen Kriegspropaganda gegen Alina Lipp

    Sie sprach von der "Denazifikation" der Ukraine und setzt ständig prorussische Postings ab: Jetzt wird gegen die in Donezk lebende Deutsche Alina Lipp ermittelt.

    Deutsche Behörden ermitteln gegen Putins deutsche Info-Kriegerin Alina Lipp wegen ihrer Postings zum Ukraine-Krieg. Der Vorwurf: Mit ihren Beiträgen soll sie einen verbotenen Angriffskrieg gebilligt haben, also Straftaten belohnt oder gebilligt haben. Dafür drohen eine Geld- oder Freiheitsstrafe von bis zu drei Jahren. Die Behörden haben auch Geld sichergestellt, das sie mutmaßlich als Spenden erhalten hat.

    ... https://www.t-online.de/nachrichten...oerden-ermitteln-wegen-kriegspropaganda-.html

    It calls her "Putin's info warrior." Basically, she is a German-language propaganda mouthpiece for Putler's regime. She is like that French "journalist" Bill posted a similar victimhood story about not terribly long ago. His buddy "Tom" on YouTube, who posted the video Bill posted about the French propagandist, has, of course, dutifully posted a video about this as well. I won't bother to link it here, though.

    It is interesting how the Putler regime finds these people and uses them to try and broadcast ruscist lies to audiences outside of Russia.

    Anyway, she has broken German laws. Carsky doesn't seem too concerned about how the Putler regime has cracked down on independent journalists and western media in Russia, but now he's screaming bloody murder because this woman broke German laws against supporting an illegal war of aggression, or, as stated above: "to have rewarded or endorsed crimes."

    Just another useful idiot being used to broadcast ruscist lies to audiences outside of Russia. It's Soviet tactics adapted to modern mass media.

    This girl is not a journalist or interested in objective journalism; she's a simple propagandist spreading her pro-Kremlin propaganda via telegram and other media calling herself a "peace journalist" and some are dumb enough to believe her claims..
    A couple of weeks ago she spread the story that a Russian boy was allegedly attacked and beaten by Ukrainians in the city of Euskirchen then taken to hospital where he died.
    Local authorities and the police clarified there was no attack, no beating, no boy being taken to hospital. The whole story was completely made up. She also showed a clip of a guy going on a rampage in a supermarket with Russian goods allegedly in Regensburg telling her audience this was evidence of a current anti-Russian atmosphere in Germany. The clip was from 2019, shot in Russia and had nothing to do with her made up story.
    She also claimed Germany was like a concentration camp because unvaccinated people were not allowed to enter supermarkets or buy shoes - again completely made up. Lipp used to be a member of the Green party. She claimed she left the party in 2016 which is also a lie. The Green party released an official statement showing that she left the party in Dec 2020. She opens her mouth and lies.

    People shouldn't be jailed or otherwise punished for speech that comes out of their mouths or things they write. Exception being giving up state secrets and such in a traitorous fashion. Let her go plus I noticed she's kind of hot looking.

    Bill...those numerous Mafiosi ammo warehouses/dumps that are being blown to smithereens in LDPR by HIMARS....you know how Ukranian military targeted them....?

    Easy....local residents and former DPR militants have been secretly leaking locations of these ammunition locations to Ukranian units for target destruction!.....apparently the locals and militants(former) aren't happy with "Russki Mir"....as it brought nothing but misery and poverty....and the men are just being used as cheap cannon fodder. The whole op is turned into a f@cking fiasco.....LOL....:)

    It's encouraging to see such a brave young woman seeking to find and deliver the truth.

    It seems the ruthless Nazis still thrive in the German government.

    That would be decided in the courts, no? Makes me wonder though if a ruling in a military court can be over ruled by a civil court.

    Regardless of your opinion concerning her opinion.....

    Do you think it proper that someone should not be able to defend themselves in a court of law as it might "hinder the investigation"?

    How dare someone be allowed to tell the other side of the story?

    Remember when you people were screaming your heads off about Trump going after the media?

    Well apparently this is what that really looks like

    The idea that this woman won't be able to defend herself because it would thwart the investigation is prepostrous. I would like to see the original statement from whatever official authority it was. I would also like to see the original statement that labeled her a terrorist and how exactly she was harassed by authorities. The op article is extremely questionable.
    Lipp has been informed that she was reported to the police and now an investigation is going on; this is normal procedure. This whole thing is far away from court proceedings and if this case should go to court, she will of course have the right to defend herself. She apparently claims she won't, but she's been caught lying many times before, so whatever she says has to be taken with a pintch of salt to say the least. She's a known propagandist who knows how to twist and distort her stories.
