EAST BERLIN (AP) — Erich
Honecker, who ruled East Germany
for 18 years until his downfall in Oc
tober, was released from a hospital
Monday and arrested immediately
to be tried for treason, the national
prosecutor said.
Plans to put the former Commu
nist Party chief and three members
of his Politburo on trial in March
were announced by Prosecutor
Hans-Juergen Joseph at a session of
Parliament where Premier Hans
Modrow offered a grim account of
the state of the nation.
The swift action against Hon
ecker, 77, indicates the strength of a
nationwide backlash against corrup
tion in Honecker’s Stalinist regime.
Economic problems and wide
spread unrest have forced Modrow,
the embattled Communist premier,
to move the country’s first free elec
tions up from May to March 18 and
bring the opposition into a coalition
that will govern until then.
Honecker was recuperating at
Charite hospital from surgery per
formed Jan. 8 to remove a malignant
kidney tumor. He was arrested as he
left the hospital and taken to Rum-
melsburg prison in East Berlin, the
official news agency ADN reported.
It said Dr. Peter Althaus, director
of the hospital’s urology clinic, con
sidered Honecker too ill to be im
prisoned.
Bild, a mass-circulation West Ger
man newspaper published in Ham
burg, reported last week that Hon
ecker would be arrested and kept at
a prison medical facility. ADN did
not say whether Rummelsburg had a
hospital.
A dozen once-mighty Politburo
members have been swept up in the
anti-corruption campaign. In Parlia
ment, Joseph said 23 officials from
the former government were in jail.
Honecker, ousted Oct. 18, is ac
cused of leading the nation to the
brink of economic collapse through
mismanagement and the misuse of
power for personal enrichment.
Joseph said Erich Mielke, Cuenter
Mittag and Joachim Herrmann, for
mer Politburo members, also faced
trial for treason.
Mielke was Honecker’s security
chief, Mittag oversaw the economy
and Hermann was in charge of
propaganda.
Treason previously carried a max
imum penalty of death, but East
Germany abolished capital punish
ment last year.
Modrow’s speech to Parliament
explaining the decision to hold ear-
66
The current
government coalition is
proving increasingly
fragile... The economic
situation is deteriorating in
a worrying way.”
— Hans Modrow,
E. German Premier
Her elections and govern with the
opposition painted a bleak picture of
conditions in East Germany.
He said mounting challenges to
authority threatened the govern
ment’s existence.
“The current government coali
tion is proving increasingly fragile,”
Modrow said. “Economic and social
tensions have increased. The eco
nomic situation is deteriorating in a
worrying way.”
Strikes, work slowdowns and the
flight to the West of up to 2,500 peo
ple a day have worsened the already
stagnant economy, and demands for
higher wages and benefits are
“threatening the existence of East
Germany,” he declared.
Thousands crowd square
in Romania, demand
resignation of Iliescu
BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) —
More than 15,000 people demand
ing the ouster of the provisional gov
ernment crowded into Bucharest’s
Victory Square on Sunday, the larg
est anti-government demonstration
in Romania since December’s revolt.
Thousands of anti-government
protesters broke through a line of
armed soldiers, rushing to the doors
of the government headquarters and
scurrying atop a half-dozen tanks
guarding the building.
The crowd booed interim Presi
dent Ion Iliescu when he appeared
on an upper floor of the building
and tried to speak. The protesters
chanted “Resign! Resign!” and “Get
out, or we’ll come get you out!”
Iliescu later said opposition par
ties met with his government and
had agreed to broad talks.
Iliescu was named head of a loose
coalition of disaffected Communists
and intellectuals who assumed
power after a revolt ousted the 24-
year regime of Nicolae Ceausescu,
who was executed with his wife, El
ena, on Dec. 25.
But the governing National Salva
tion Front has come under fire re
cently for announcing its intention
to compete in free elections against
newly formed opposition parties.
Critics allege the front cannot
fairly compete in balloting it will also
administer, and some allege it sup
ports a return to one-party rule.
Pro-government demonstrators
also crowded around the building
chanting “Iliescu ... We are with
you!” but they were outnumbered
and out-shouted by the opposition
forces.
The two sides booed and hissed at
each other, but there was no vio
lence.
No injuries were reported as the
line of soldiers about 75 yards from
the building gave way to the crowd.
The soldiers then reformed their
line five men defep at the building’s
entrances.
After nightfall, truckloads of pro
government demonstrators were
brought to the square, some shout
ing that the opposition protesters
were “provocateurs” and “gypsies.”
After the reinforcements arrived,
Iliescu reappeared and shouted over
a microphone that the front had met
representatives of the three parties
sponsoring the protest.
“All the political parties agreed to
cooperate, including the three that
sponsored this demonstration,”
Iliescu said. “Next week we will con
tinue the dialogue.”
He said all of the more than 20
parties seeking to run candidates in
May elections would meet with front
leaders Thursday. Earlier, a spokes
man with the opposition Peasants
Party said that party leaders met
Iliescu to demand that the front give
way to a broader-based interim gov
ernment.
A small crowd held a separate
protest at the headquarters of the
state radio and television building
and demanded access to the media
to call for the resignation of the pro
visional government. A 10-minute
segment of that protest was telecast
later.
About 2,000 of the National Sal
vation Front’s backers held another
rally earlier at a nearby district gov
ernment building, chanting “The
front is us, and we are the people.”
