A German court said today it would release a former member of Germany's Red Army Faction (RAF) convicted over three killings.
Eva Haule will be paroled on Tuesday, after serving her minimum sentence, with a five-year probation period, the court said in statement. The Frankfurt court had previously ruled that Haule would serve a minimum of 21 years in prison.
A German court ruled that Haule currently poses no threat to the general public
"The convicted person currently poses no threat to the general public," the statement said.
Haule was an RAF member from 1984 until her arrest two years later. She was convicted in 1994 for her part in the murder of a US soldier and a 1985 bomb attack on the US Rhein-Main Air Base in West Germany that killed another American soldier and a female civilian.
Haule is one of three former RAF members still in prison.
Earlier this year, German president Horst Koehler refused to pardon former RAF member Christian Klar, who has spent more than 24 years in jail for his role in killings that shook West Germany in the 1970s.
Also known as the Baader-Meinhof Gang after founders Andreas Baader and Ulrike Meinhof, the RAF is believed to have killed 34 people between 1970 and 1991.
