The German climate activist Anja Windl, who was issued a two-year residence ban in Austria by the Federal Office for Immigration and Asylum (BFA) at the beginning of April, is now apparently also facing a prison sentence in Germany.

According to "Bild.de", a penalty order has been issued against the 28-year-old German at the Stuttgart Regional Court, requiring her to pay 5,400 euros in daily rates of 30 euros or to serve a substitute prison sentence.

Climate Activist Anja Windl Faces Imprisonment in Germany

The reason for the penalty order, according to the German tabloid, is an action last August at Stuttgart Airport, where Windl cut a hole in the fence of the outdoor area and glued herself to a runway with a second activist. Windl, who is also being tried in Munich, intends to appeal the penalty order, which according to "Bild" would lead to another trial in Stuttgart. The climate activist, who had been studying in Graz, was only released from custody in Klagenfurt at the beginning of February, where she had also served a substitute prison sentence - in that case, six weeks long.
