Haule was due for release in 2001, but charges for theRhein-Main Air Base bombing and murder of American soldier Edward Pimental were brought against her. New evidence, which included Haule's own letters to another RAF member in prison containing self-incriminating information, were used to prove her guilt. Her sentence was extended, and she was moved to a women'sprison inNeukölln. She stated that 'an end to her detention was not foreseeable.'
Parole was granted on 17 August 2007, with her release set for 21 August.[3] However, officials released her on the 17th in order to protect her from the media.[4] She has never expressed remorse for her actions as a member of the RAF.[5]
