Seven sequences of documented dates

Chains — dates placed side by side

Each chain consists solely of dated, documented events — without connecting words such as ‘therefore’ or ‘because’. At the end is an observation describing only what they have in common, a question, a document that would answer it and the body that can obtain it. What a chain expressly does not claim is stated at its end.

→ All four tracks on a shared timeline

K-01

The common approach

24.04.2025First personal submission to the Senator for Justice
05.05.2025Response from the supervisory authority: it would act only once the prison management had made a final decision (Annex 56_F2)
05.05. / 05.06.2025Second and third submissions; both reached the Senator’s office, both were forwarded
05.08.2025Complaint to the Senator
11.08.2025The prison informs the court that the case was discussed with the Senate Administration and a common approach developed (Annex 84_F2)
11.08.2025First escorted trip to the court registry officer — eighth day of a hunger strike (Annex 67_F2)
11.08.2025Oral notification: no written decision will be issued (Annex 67_F2)

Observation: A supervisory authority that makes no substantive decision for months agrees a common approach with the body it supervises six days after a complaint. The evidence comes not from me but from the prison itself.

What approach was agreed on 11 August 2025 — and where is it recorded?

Would resolve this: the record of the discussion of 11.08.2025 between JVA Heidering (Heidering correctional facility) and the Senatsverwaltung für Justiz (Senate Administration for Justice).

Can obtain it: Petitionsausschuss (Petitions Committee), § 5 para. 1 point b PetG Bln.

Not claimed: that the Senator issued an instruction.
K-02

The transfer and the planning that followed it

10.06.2025Transfer from JVA Moabit to JVA Heidering without advance notice; neither a treatment assessment nor a sentence implementation plan is available
13.03.2026First summons to the commission (EWA) — more than three years after custody began, nine months after the transfer
12.03.2026Date of the diagnostic procedure (Annex 137_F2)
17.04.2026Date of the sentence implementation and reintegration plan (Annex 115_F2)
24.04.2026Delivery of the plan
27.04.2026Letter from the Landesamt für Einwanderung (State Immigration Office) on the intended expulsion — three days after delivery

Observation: The planning intended to underpin a transfer is produced nine months after it. Three days after its delivery, the proceedings to end residence begin.

On what written basis did the transfer on 10.06.2025 take place — and why was the treatment assessment conducted only nine months later?

Would resolve this: the transfer decision with its reasons; the sentence implementation file for May/June 2025.

Can obtain it: Petitionsausschuss (Petitions Committee), § 5 para. 1 point b PetG Bln.

Not claimed: that the transfer, plan and expulsion proceedings were coordinated with one another.
K-03

The video statement and what followed it

02.06.2026Public video statement from custody, addressed to members of parliament
24.06.2026Refusal to suspend the remainder of the sentence on probation (Annex 139_F2)
12.07.2026Email to around 80 recipients, including the Senate Administration’s press office and JVA Heidering itself
17.07.2026Oral notification of the ban
22.07.2026Written decision: video calls banned until 16.10.2026, expressly referring to that email (Annex 152_F2)
31.07.2026Dismissal of the application challenging the sentence implementation plan (Annex 157_F2)
06.08.2026‘Suspended’ designation, not permitted to work
11.09.2026Landgericht Berlin I (Berlin Regional Court I) sets aside the decision of 22.07.2026 as unlawful (595 StVK 126/26 Vollz, dossier)

Observation: Four adverse decisions within nine weeks of a public statement. The decision of 22.07.2026 itself connects the email addressed to the supervisory authority, the video and the ban.

By what route did a communication addressed to the Senate Administration’s press office become part of the prison’s basis for its decision?

Expressly on this point: According to my own sent mail, the same email also went directly to the prison. I do not establish the information route — I demand that it be clarified.

Would resolve this: the prison’s file on the ban decision, including receipt records.

Can obtain it: Landgericht Berlin I (Berlin Regional Court I), 595 StVK 126/26 Vollz · Petitionsausschuss (Petitions Committee), § 5 para. 1 point b PetG Bln.

K-04

Six refusals and a standard written down only in 2026

09.2024From this point, no defence counsel can be reached
06.12.2024Copy of the grounds of the appeal on points of law (Revision) — eight days after the deadline
17.12.2024Application to discharge court-appointed defence counsel — remains undecided
15.01.–24.03.2025Six documented refusals to record the submission; staff state that they are acting on instructions (Annex 9_F2, declaration in lieu of oath)
11.06.2025Application to be brought before the court registry officer
11.08.2025Escorted trip — eighth day of the hunger strike
04.11.2025Decision on the application of 11.06.2025 — after almost five months
12.06.2026The Kammergericht (Berlin Higher Regional Court) sets out the standard and dismisses the complaint on points of law (Rechtsbeschwerde) because it had not been demonstrated that writing the submission oneself was unreasonable
10.07.2026Constitutional complaint (Annex 144_F2)

Observation: The standard disputed since January 2025 is written down by the court itself in June 2026. The same order counters that writing the submission oneself was reasonable — while refusal of writing materials during the same period is documented in a declaration in lieu of oath.

Whose instruction did the staff invoke on the six documented days — and does it exist in writing?

Would resolve this: the service instruction or record to which the staff referred.

Can obtain it: Petitionsausschuss (Petitions Committee), § 5 para. 1 points a and b PetG Bln; additionally, questioning under § 6 PetG Bln.

Case 5 in parallel with the proceedings

22.07.2024Day of the judgment. First submission concerning an incident with another prisoner
12.03.2025Discontinuance decision by the Staatsanwaltschaft Berlin (Berlin Public Prosecutor’s Office)
27.10.2025Renewed report of danger in a declaration in lieu of oath — another death threat, following criticism of the Prosecutor General’s Office and prison management
10.06.2026Transfer to work unit 2 — closer proximity, over seven months after the danger was recorded in the file
15.07.2026Handwritten report of danger (Annex 7_F5)
05.08.2026Reported murder threat, antisemitic insults and being spat at three times; witness and video surveillance identified (Annexes 10_F5, 11_F5)
05.–06.08.2026Both prisoners removed from the work unit; ‘Suspended’ designation
11.08.2026The prison describes physical separation in writing as ‘imperatively necessary’ (Annex 13_F5)

Observation: The prison eventually confirms in writing a threat situation that must be taken seriously — the same situation reported since October 2025, in which proximity was increased by a transfer in June 2026. The person reporting the threat lost his job along with the person he reported.

On what basis did the transfer on 10.06.2026 take place, although the danger had been recorded in the file since 27.10.2025?

Would resolve this: the transfer decision of June 2026 with the record of the safety assessment.

Can obtain it: Petitionsausschuss (Petitions Committee), § 5 para. 1 point b and § 5 para. 2 PetG Bln (unannounced visit, conversation without third parties).

Not claimed: that another prisoner acted on behalf of an authority or intelligence service. This is a request for examination, not a finding.
K-06

First prevent, then hold it against someone

14.12.2022Arrest warrant — judge Dr. Fricke, the same judge who upheld the seizure of the banner on 05.10.2021
12.2022–01.2024Thirteen months of extensive isolation
02.04.2024Application for a declaratory finding on the record — before the judgment — concerning the pattern whereby an opportunity to act is prevented and the absence of that action is later used as an argument
22.07.2024Judgment
2025/2026The same pattern in sentence implementation decisions: no indication for treatment — later criticism of a lack of work on the offence

Observation: The pattern was challenged on the record before the judgment, not constructed afterwards. It recurs in a different branch of proceedings involving different people.

How is a prisoner to demonstrate engagement with the offence when, according to the same authority’s assessment, it is not offered to him?

Would resolve this: the trial record in 522 Ks 5/23 for 02.04.2024.

Can obtain it: Petitionsausschuss (Petitions Committee), § 10 para. 1 PetG Bln.

K-07

The attention that allegedly did not exist

17.09.2021Seizure of the ‘Putin is a Killer’ banner, first day of the Duma election
23.09.2021*First statement by the Russian delegation before the OSCE, naming Unkremlin (PC.DEL/1483/21)
05.10.2021Judicial confirmation of the seizure — Judge Dr. Fricke
01.–02.01.2022Vehicle fire, documented by a third party
03.03.2022Post on the personal Facebook page
08.04.2022Second statement by the Russian delegation, naming Unkremlin (PC.DEL/526/22) — meeting on 07.04.2022, distributed by the OSCE conference service the following day
23./24.04.2022Placement of the device according to the judgment’s findings — sixteen days later
06.05.2022Discovery — thirteen days later
14.12.2022Arrest warrant — judge Dr. Fricke
20.06.2023Indictment by the Generalstaatsanwaltschaft Berlin (Berlin Prosecutor General’s Office)
22.07.2024Judgment. Explanation of the motive: the protest had not brought ‘the attention not previously received’
01.09.2023Unkremlin e. V. is classified in the Russian Federation as an ‘undesirable organisation’

Observation: The premise of the explanation of the motive — that attention was lacking — is refuted by two documents that come not from the defence but from the state whose policies the protest opposed. The second is dated sixteen days before the alleged act.

If attention was lacking — what are these two statements? And if it existed — what supports the judgment’s explanation of the motive?

Would resolve this: the trial record; the file on whether those statements appear in it.

Can obtain it: Generalstaatsanwaltschaft (Prosecutor General’s Office) (§ 147 StPO) · Petitionsausschuss (Petitions Committee) (§ 10 para. 1 PetG Bln).

* Two dates, no contradiction: Permanent Council meeting no. 1336 took place on 23.09.2021 (confirmed by the contemporaneous EU statement to the same meeting); the OSCE conference service distributed document PC.DEL/1483/21 the following day, 24.09.2021.

Not claimed: operational involvement by Russian bodies in the device. These documents establish state attention, not perpetration. → What Moscow says about me
