Michael Kuehnen, a 26-year-old neo-Nazi activist serving a four-year prison term, was sentenced to an additional nine months by a Flensburg court which found him guilty of producing and disseminating anti-Semitic and racist propaganda material from his prison cell.
Kuehnen, formerly a second lieutenant in the West German army, was originally convicted for neo-Nazi violence, including attacks on the police. The court found that the material discovered in his cell indicated intent to continue incitement to race hatred and other activities of the outlawed neo-Nazi groups to which he belonged.
