Letter from Munich – the Joseph Affair \u2013 290<\/strong><\/p>\n

EINE DEUTSCHE FASSUNG STEHT WEITER UNTEN. (German translation below \u2013 German language character set required for correct display.)<\/p>\n

Dusseldorf, 17 November 2006<\/p>\n

Dear Mr. Graf, dear friends,<\/p>\n

Continuation of the letter of last week (from an article on the World Socialist Website: \u201cDer Tod des sechsjaehrigen Joseph Abdulla\u201d, by Dietmar Henning, 30 November 2000, www.wsws.org\/de\/2000\/nov2000\/jose-n30.shtml):<\/p>\n

According to Thomas Jurk, parliamentary leader of the Social Democrats in Saxony, soon after Joseph\u2019s death the government of Saxony was also informed that there had not been a swimming pool accident but a murder carried out by the right wing. Jurk referred to a letter that had been written by the late Joachim Richter, who was a member of the legislature in Saxony. The letter was sent to the then Christian Democrat minister of justice in Saxony, Steffen Heitmann, who ignored it.<\/p>\n

Continued next week.<\/p>\n

Sincerely yours,<\/p>\n

Sehr geehrter Herr Graf, sehr geehrte Freunde,<\/p>\n

Fortsetzung des Briefes (aus einem Artikel auf der World Socialist Website: \u201cDer Tod des sechsjaehrigen Joseph Abdulla\u201d, von Dietmar Henning, 30. November 2000, www.wsws.org\/de\/2000\/nov2000\/jose-n30.shtml):<\/p>\n

\u201eNach Informationen des s\u00e4chsischen SPD-Landtagsfraktionsvorsitzenden Thomas Jurk war auch die s\u00e4chsische Landesregierung schon bald nach dem Tode Josephs dar\u00fcber informiert worden, dass es sich nicht um einen Badeunfall, sondern um einen durch Rechte ver\u00fcbten Mord handele. Jurk verwies auf ein Schreiben des inzwischen verstorbenen Landtagsabgeordneten Joachim Richter an den damaligen Justizminister Steffen Heitmann (CDU), der aber diese Hinweise ignorierte\u201c.<\/p>\n

Fortsetzung n\u00e4chste Woche.<\/p>\n
