GE protester released from prison - German Federal Constitutional Court decision
German beekeeper Michael Grolm was Germany’s first ’field liberator’ who went to prison for his actions. Together with numerous other activists he organised publicly-announced field liberations (German expression for decontamination of GM crop sites). Earlier this year, Michael Grolm was sentenced to a fine of 1,000 Euros because he entered a field despite an injunction barring him from doing so. The beekeeper refused to pay the fine and announced his intention to go to prison instead, to demonstrate his resolve against the use of GMOs in agriculture.
