London student Fede finally free from German jail

A LONDON student was finally freed from a German jail yesterday, 11 weeks after being arrested for taking part in protests at the European Central Bank headquarters’ opening day.

Federico Annibale, a masters student at the School of Oriental and African Studies, was arrested on March 18 under special public order legislation in place for the anti-austerity demonstrations in Frankfurt.

He was found in possession of two stones and charged with “breach of the peace and attempted grievous bodily harm.”
