Beate Bahner published a press release on April 3rd decrying the German lockdown laws as "flagrantly unconstitutional, infringing to an unprecedented extent many of the fundamental rights of citizens."

"These measures are not justified by the Infection Prevention Act, hurriedly amended just a few days ago," she asserted.

"Long-term restrictions on leaving home and meeting others, based on high-death-rate modelled scenarios, which fail to take account of actual critical expert opinions, and the complete shutdown of businesses and shops with no proof that they pose any risk of infection, are thoroughly unlawful."

Bahner called for a nationwide protest on Easter Sunday to "end the tyranny at once," before Heidelberg Police announced that they would seek to prosecute her for inciting Germans to break the law.
