German Court Issues Temporary Injunction in Left Party Leader's Privacy Case
A Berlin court issued a provisional ruling suppressing the publication of Gregor Gysi's Stasi files. The leader of the new Left party argued its publication would be in breach of his professional secrecy. Judges approved his application for a temporary injunction against publication of the file compiled on him by the East German secret police, or Stasi. A final decision will be made after the elections, once the court has examined further evidence.
