1977. Suicide of the leaders of Raf

On October 18, 1977, members of the West German Levoradical Terrorist Organization “Red Army faction” Andreas Baader, Yan-Karl Razpe and Gudrun Enslin committed suicide in the Staghim Stuttgart prison in protest against the harsh conditions of detention, ensuring the complete isolation of the concluded from each other.

The leader Raf Ulrika Minhof committed suicide earlier, on May 8, 1976, hanging in the same prison.

The version of the suicide of Baader, Minhof and other members Raf is questioned by their supporters, claiming that they were killed by prison security or special services. However, the European Commission, which investigated the death of the leaders of the Red Army in 1977-1978, confirmed the version of suicide.

RAF is responsible for 34 killings and a number of raids on banks and military and civilian institutions, during which several dozen people were injured and 20 terrorists were killed. The RAF program book was called "Partisan War, uprising and the anti -imperialist front."
