"It still feels unreal," she said, her words nearly drowned out by the chanting crowd of 200 friends who came to greet her, carrying red flags, champagne bottles and Christmas presents.
M?ller, 47, was convicted of driving one of two explosives-laden cars that blew up in a parking lot at U.S. Army Headquarters in Heidelberg on May 24, 1972. Captain Clyde Bonner and two enlisted men, Charles Peck and Ronald Woodward, were killed.
The U.S. State Department and the victims' relatives objected to her release.
M?ller was freed because of poor health, although she has reportedly shown no remorse and refused to cooperate with psychiatric evaluations to determine whether she is still dangerous.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
