YOUR article on Róisin McAliskey in the last Outlook was factually wrong in one important respect.
You say "The German govern. ment have made clear that they have no objection to her being hailed . it is the British state and the RUC who are responsible for her incarceration".
This question has been analysed extensively within our campaign in Dublin.
Contradictory statements have been made by various representatives of the German state from the beginning -embassies, politicians, the Federal Prosecution Service itsel!.
The factual position is that every time there is a bail application a representative of the German reactas Prosccuton scivice indicates opposition - on this basis the magistrate refuses the ap. plicaton.
Key role
If the German state withdrew its opposition, unambiguously and in open court, Róisín McAliskey could not legally be denied The German state's attempis to claim of the German police on the warrant against Achiskey, that le had recognised her from photos shown to him.
He owned a cottage which was allegedly used by IRA members as a base for a mortar bomb attack on the Osnabruck British Army base. Schmidt told the television interviewer that he was shown photographs but did not recognise any of his tenants.
In short, falsified information was included in the warrant by the German Federal Prosccution Service - to what extent this was done in collusion with the RUC is a very interesting question on which we can only speculate at the moment.
