Terrorist activities

Arrest and imprisonment

Haule was arrested in an ice-cream parlour in Rüsselsheim on 2 August 1986. She was charged with the failed bomb attack in Oberammergau as well as membership in a criminal organisation, robbery and falsification of documents. On 28 June 1988 she was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment. Haule was due for release in 2001, but charges for the Rhein-Main Air Base bombing and murder of American soldier Edward Pimental were brought against her. New evidence, which included Haule's own letters to another RAF member in prison containing self-incriminating information, were used to prove her guilt. Her sentence was extended, and she was moved to a women's prison in Neukölln. She stated that 'an end to her detention was not foreseeable.' Parole was granted on 17 August 2007, with her release set for 21 August. However, officials released her on the 17th in order to protect her from the media. She has never expressed remorse for her actions as a member of the RAF.

Photography

Haule attended photography classes in prison and now takes portraits of other imprisoned women. Her collection, called "Portraits of Women under Captivity", has been exhibited.
