Strict prison conditions in Germany for alleged Red Army Faction (RAF) terrorist Daniela Klette have been relaxed somewhat, her lawyer said on Friday.
Klette, 65, was arrested in Berlin in February after spending more than three decades underground.
She is no longer being kept strictly separated from other prisoners and has been allowed access to writing instruments after prison officials determined she is not a suicide risk, according to Lukas Theune, her lawyer.
Klette faces charges of attempted murder, explosives attacks and robberies with the use of firearms for her suspected role in a series of hold-ups alongside other former RAF members. The crimes were allegedly used to fund their lives on the run.
Police continue to hunt for her alleged accomplices, Burkhard Garweg and Ernst-Volker Staub. The three belonged to the so-called third generation of the RAF, a far-left extremist group responsible for numerous bombings, assassinations and other crimes in Germany over the course of several decades.
A communique signed by the RAF and sent to news agencies in 1998 declared that the group had disbanded.
At the end of March, Theune criticized his client's detention conditions and said that she was being completely isolated.
"She is now also allowed to have contact with other remand prisoners, but not with regular prisoners," Theune told dpa.
Her cell at the Vechta women's prison in north-western Germany is also no longer under constant video surveillance, he said.
