Is Reiner Fuellmich being persecuted? Read his exclusive testimony on the conditions of his detention inside Rosdorf high security prison. Statement delivered by Kerstin Heusinger, German correspondent for BAM!, with her original sketches and photos taken in the courtroom.

On Reiner Fuellmich's court days, 7am:

"Security guards heavily armed with pistols and machine guns, wearing bulletproof vests, take charge of me. They try to convince me to put on a bulletproof vest, which I systematically refuse. They then insist I sign a waiver exonerating them from responsibility should I be shot or killed.

One of the guards subjects me to a body search, then forces me to kneel on a stool while he shackles my feet. 

He then ties a wide leather belt around my waist, puts handcuffs on my wrists and secures them to the belt with chains and a large padlock.

The cuffs on my feet force me to take very small steps, making it difficult to get in and out of the transport vehicle. If I were to stumble while shackled, I wouldn't be able to protect my fall and would probably break my wrists.
