Annex 205_F2 — Statement of Heidering prison (JVA Heidering) of 25.08.2026 on the video call ban, sent by the Regional Court
Four pages: the covering letter of Berlin Regional Court I (Landgericht Berlin I) of 28.08.2026 (Judge Raschke, prepared 01.09.2026, “please take note”) and the respondent’s three-page statement of 25.08.2026 in proceedings 595 StVK 126/26 Vollz, signed Lohmeier, acting head of prison division (Teilanstaltsleiter 1 komm.), file reference TAL 1 komm. – AR 1114. Received by me on 04.09.2026.
Alternative hypothesisThe prison describes the restriction as securing a particular use of the video call system, rather than a general prohibition of journalistic activity. At the same time, it states that it was itself a recipient of the press email of 12.07.2026; it expressly denies coordination with the Senate Department in this particular case.
What is missingThis statement is the position of a party to the proceedings. Set against it are my reply 209_F2 and the later court order 218_F2, which set aside the decision as unlawful. This statement alone must not be turned into either independent confirmation of the restriction’s lawfulness or evidence of an instruction from the Senate Department.
