Freedom for Dr. Bianca Witzschel, the martyr of the German “free democratic basic order”!
Updated on July 5, 2026
Since February 5, 2026, Dr. Bianca Witzschel, a physician from Moritzburg (Saxony), has been back in prison – for at least another nearly one and a half years, due to the relentless vendetta of the Covid regime. After having been held in pretrial detention for 16 months until June 2024 like a serious criminal, she had finally been convicted by the Dresden Regional Court in a months-long show trial. As a reminder: Dr. Witzschel’s “crime” consisted solely of the fact that, as a doctor during the Covid terror, she had issued medical certificates to numerous patients exempting them for medical reasons from the obligation to wear the mask – that degrading muzzle that one was initially supposed to tailor for oneself, but whose futility was always clear even later and is now even officially acknowledged. Furthermore, she had certified some patients not to be vaccinated for health reasons or be allowed to take saliva tests instead of the painful swabs in the throat and nose that were mandated non-stop at the time (see earlier reports in our periodical Ketzerbriefe (Heretics’ Letters): Freedom for Dr. Bianca Witzschel (KB 242/243) and Shameful Verdict Against Dr. Bianca Witzschel (KB 246) (both in German).
Two years and eight months in prison for these “crimes” – in reality, for medical acts performed for the benefit of patients – plus a three-year ban on practicing medicine and the confiscation of her assets amounting to 47,000 €: such was the shameful verdict handed down by the Dresden court. The appeal filed by Dr. Witzschel was rejected by the Federal Court of Justice (BGH) after more than a year with a stroke of the pen – hardly surprising for a court within the same judicial apparatus that has, without exception, rubber-stamped all state measures of the former Covid regime. Hence, Dr. Bianca Witzschel must now return to prison. From the first day on, her persecution has been accompanied by smear campaigns and malice from the relentlessly lying press (“Reich Citizens’ doctor,” “1,000 courtesy medical opinions,” “certificates issued and sold without prior medical examination” (which is a blatant lie), “completely unclear what happened to the money”, all from the Sächsische Zeitung of Feb. 3, 2026).
Dr. Witzschel has been professionally and financially ruined by the judiciary’s year-long vendetta for the sole reason that she had dared to challenge the tyranny of the Covid state measures and to follow her Hippocratic oath in the interest of her patients: The willing Medical Association revoked her medical license instantly, she was subdued to an extremely costly criminal trial, her assets have been confiscated, she is imprisoned for years, she is no longer able to pay her bills. She is no longer entitled to work and has lost all her patients. She has not even recovered her patient files which were also confiscated – in other words, stolen – during one of the five (!) house searches ordered against her. Her home and practice building has been auctioned off at a price far below its value, reminding of the way Jewish property had been sold at forced auctions in the Third Reich at giveaway prices. Her bank account and health insurance have been terminated. She is literally left with nothing. This is the reality of Germany's “free democratic basic order” constantly invoked by the hypocritical authorities. Let us imagine that the same thing had happened in the former East German GDR – what an outcry the same prostituted media would have raised!
But: Dr. Bianca Witzschel remains personally completely unbroken, just like so many KPD martyrs during Hitler's dictatorship. No one who has witnessed her will be able to deny her the highest respect for her courageous steadfastness as a veritable martyr of the Covid regime (even if they do not share her views on vaccination)! Her unbending attitude was not only met by hateful press comments – “no sense of wrongdoing” –, but it is likely the reason why the public prosecutor is continuing to pursue her fanatically even after her conviction. As reported, the prosecutor has now filed a second indictment accusing her once again of “issuing incorrect health certificates on a commercial basis”, i.e. for the same act for which she was already convicted (which, legally speaking, should count as a single “offense” – key term for lawyers: “continuity of offense”), only this time regarding different certificates! Particularly egregious and telling is the accusation of “commercial activity” because according to the “Amendment to the Infection Protection Act” from November 2021 and the thereby newly inserted Paragraph 2 of Section 278 of the German Criminal Code (StGB), if the doctor has received a fee for his certificates as usual, this is deemed a “particularly serious case,” punishable by imprisonment ranging from 3 months to five years! This proceeding has already been opened by court order. Furthermore, the public prosecutor’s office is planning an additional third proceeding, again regarding yet more medical certificates. There is no doubt: The judiciary wants to see the now 69-year-old doctor groveling submissively or be buried in prison. Just as in Hitler’s or Stalin’s days...
A few days before Dr. Witzschel was summoned to prison, U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. publicly demanded that the German government end the political persecution of doctors and patients over mask certificates, vaccination records, and certificates of inability to be vaccinated. Earlier, also U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance had sharply demanded to restore freedom of speech and to put an end to the spreading censorship. And following Dr. Witzschel’s renewed arrest, U.S. government advisor Leland Lehrman addressed the Saxon Minister of Justice personally to demand specifically Dr. Witzschel’s release. Though the judiciary’s persecution of German doctors finally attracts increasing international attention, the persecutors obviously intend to go on with it as before. This is made clear by the fact that the German Health Minister, Nina Warken, herself responded to the growing international attention with a complete denial: no, she claimed, the constitutionally protected freedom of therapy applies; no, there is no political persecution of doctors. Not only the persecution of Dr. Bianca Witzschel, but also the cases of numerous other doctors driven from the country, criminalized, and ruined are simply being brushed off and lied about – the names of Dr. Schiffmann, Dr. Habig, Dr. Weber, Dr. Heisler are just a few examples, there are countless other victims.
We demand:
Freedom and full rehabilitation for Dr. Bianca Witzschel!
More than 43.621 supporters have already signed the corresponding petition (as of 01/06/2026):
In the spirit of solidarity, we once again call on everyone to support Dr. Witzschel by sending cards and letters to the prison and to give her the strength she so desperately needs to persevere.
Send letters of support to:
Dr. Bianca Witzschel
JVA Chemnitz
Thalheimer Str. 29

Dr. Witzschel appreciates every message; she has expressly thanked us for the support (the fact that her response at the time did not reach us was likely not due to the often unreliable German Post this time, but rather to an unfortunately unreliable courier...)

P.S.: To ensure that the mudslinging of the press does not go unchallenged, and so that readers can form a realistic picture of the details of the scandalous trial against Dr. Witzschel – even those not described here – we refer you to the commendable official press release – Persecution of Doctors in Germany (in German) by attorney Katja Wörmer, physician Dr. Monika Jiang, and journalist Kerstin Heusinger dated February 4, 2026.

Latest Update, July 5, 2026:
According to the most recent statement from her attorney, Dr. Bianca Witzschel is set to be released from prison at the end of July – for the time being (!) – as the final third of her outrageous prison sentence has been suspended “on probation.”
The protests – which we, too, have been calling for for years – have clearly not been in vain.
However, as we have reported, the district attorney’s office has already filed a second indictment against Dr. Witzschel, again for allegedly issuing “false medical certificates.” Furthermore, they are planning a third proceeding regarding yet more medical certificates. As we have written: The judiciary wants to see the now 69-year-old doctor groveling submissively or be buried in prison! The courageous doctor shall be sent to prison for a total of 4 years!
Only sustained public attention from both Germany and abroad can thwart this sinister plan!
