    The same police unit (for "state protection") previously raided Tor activists in Augsburg: https://torservers.net/blog/2018-07-04-zwiebelfreunde-raid/

    This is pretty bad, apparently they didn't even let him contact his lawyer: "The actions of the police are also being criticized because Mai was apparently not allowed to contact his lawyer during the house search". That's just straight up illegal.

    What I don't understand is how seizing all his gadgets is of any use... if he is straight up saying that he wrote the comment himself. A joke of a judge must have allowed this.
