I just received news that Georg and his friends have been released by the Mozambican government.
"Free at Last! The four prisoners of Orgone have been released.
After a disturbing phonecall from Georg on Friday morning ( Carlos wanted to enter a hunger strike, security was tightened after a failed escape attempt by other prisoners..) the relieving news came in the late afternoon. All four were in the lawyers flat, still quite shellshocked, but free.
So Dr.Nhantumbo finaly managed to get them out. As all major charges were dropped by the prosecution, there was not even bail necessary, as it's now only about an administrative fine for littering and for smuggling Orgonite into the country. The prosecution just didn't want to face the hearing, scheduled for Monday.There would have been way to many uncomfortable questions.
Georg, Tino, Carlos and Prophet are invited to a barbeque with the lawyer and his family today. Georg told me this morning, that it is only slowly sinking in, in how much danger they were and how traumatised they are by staying in such a rathole for almost two month. We fortunately know how to fix the resulting health issues, but the shock is going to last a bit. We defintiely need to develop a completly new strategy for Southern Africa in terms of gifting."
I hope they get home soon!
