The “Suspended” designation, exclusion from work and transmission of the complaints
On 06.08.2026 at 08:23, the press email prepared the previous day was sent to the press office of the Berlin justice administration and by blind copy to 50 media and human rights contacts; it included Annex 10_F5, Annex 11_F5 and the Case 5 chronology. According to my account, two sets of documents were faxed to JVA Heidering correctional facility and the Potsdam Public Prosecutor’s Office at around 09:00. There was no substantive response by the evening.
Since the evening of 05.08.2026, the designation “Suspended” had been on the door of my cell. On 06.08.2026, I was not taken out to work. When asked, Ms Mahlow said she knew no further details; the decision was made “upstairs”. I was not given a written decision, reasons, a legal basis, a duration or information on legal remedies.
The legal meaning of the designation therefore remains open: without written clarification, it cannot safely be classified either as permanent dismissal from the workplace or merely as temporary release from work.
Commentary — assessment by Dmitry Bagrash
I did not cause the conflict; rather, I prevented a confrontation through de-escalation, immediate reporting and refraining from physically fighting back. Being excluded from work deprives me of my only available income. The matters to be clarified are immediate assignment to a safe workplace, continuation of pay grade 5, classification of all absences as through no fault of my own, and financial compensation for every working day lost.
