A judge has been handed a two-year suspended prison sentence, accused of 'perverting the law' after ordering schools in Germany not to enforce lockdown regulations during the pandemic.
Christian Dettmar, 60, ruled in 2021 that two schools in Weimar, Thuringia should not have to enforce national lockdown guidance for children, including wearing masks while at school, testing for infection and keeping socially distanced.
Dettmar had already been suspended on probation pending the investigation, losing 25 per cent of his salary, and had his mobile phone and laptop confiscated after a police raid on his flat.
The family court judge's decision was ultimately overturned and he was accused of ruling on matters over which he had no authority, before he was finally suspended in January this year.
On Wednesday, a judge ruled that Dettmar has now been sentenced to two years' probation for obstruction of justice - a decision that will deprive the judge of both his role and pension.
As well as raising concerns the judge did not have the authority to make such decisions, opposition lawyers argued Dettmar had read selectively to reach his conclusion.
It was alleged he had only listened to evidence from experts critical of lockdowns before writing his verdict, and the prosecution argued the move was political, without regard for the children's safety.
The document backing up Dettmar's original decision was more than 100 pages long and argued the mandates were a 'danger to the mental, physical or psychological wellbeing' of children.
He speaks of the 'lack of benefit of mask-wearing and of complying with social distancing regulations for the children themselves and for third persons' and the perceived 'unsuitability' of PCR and rapid tests for measuring infections'.
Dettmar also references the 'right of children to education and school teaching'.

Any form of unapproved dissent is now a crime in many countries, not just Germany.

Leftist Democrat judges do this all the time here in the USA.
In the classic courtroom drama “Judgement at Nuremberg” a German judge is put on trial for NOT being an independent jurist and for instead acting as nothing more ( or less) than an extension of an out of control government.
Murder one in Germany is probably five years probation. Values are all messed up.
These people may be the Neocon’s allies, but they are not my allies.
Obligatory “I did Nazi that coming” comment.
The masks are worthless in blocking the Covid and they're very dangerous to kids immune systems! .... imho
Now there’s some straight up democracy for ya.
FUG
Well, did all of the children die? No? See!
This is nothing but embarassingly transparent payback for ruling against the (wrong, as it turned out) mandates of the state gov't.
No doubt he'll appeal the ruling.
FUGE
Is that a defense of the lockdowns or Germany’s tyranny in general?
Neither.
A general insult returned in kind. 😂
Thank you 😊
Furthermore, I am afraid that trials like that could have occurred in quite a few other countries, too, the nature of the powers that be - not to mention human nature in general- being what they are. Alas…
