Documentary Evidence — 1998–2005: Immigration Detention, Criminal Prosecution, Imprisonment Threat, Judicial Reopening and Acquittal This archive contains a 392-page collection of German judicial, prosecutorial, immigration, legal and medical documents concerning Rustem Ismail and the consequences of his detention and treatment by German authorities. The documents cover a connected sequence of events: 1. 1998 — Initial immigration detention: Arrest and detention in Berlin, serious health complaints, and release on 23 November 1998 after the authorities recorded that detention and custody fitness no longer existed. Relevant proceedings: Amtsgericht Schöneberg, 70 XIV 3148/98 B. 2. 1999 — Renewed detention: Following his release, Rustem Ismail reported being left without adequate accommodation, documents, financial resources and medical protection. He was detained again in October 1999. His medical condition and the circumstances of his detention became the subject of complaints and legal correspondence. 3. 2000 — Criminal prosecution and conviction: On 28 March 2000, the Berlin Public Prosecutor’s Office brought charges concerning alleged unlawful residence between 19 January and 12 October 1999. On 19 July 2000, Amtsgericht Tiergarten imposed a fine of 120 daily rates of 10 Deutsche Mark. 4. 2001–2002 — Enforcement and imprisonment threat: Despite documented financial hardship and medical difficulties, enforcement proceedings continued. On 8 July 2002, the prosecution issued a summons requiring Rustem Ismail to serve 65 days of substitute imprisonment or make the specified payment. The archive also contains correspondence and payment records. 5. 2003 — Successful appeal for reopening: On 17 December 2003, Landgericht Berlin overturned the earlier refusal to reopen the criminal proceedings and declared the reopening admissible. The decision addressed the legal significance of the applicant’s entitlement to Duldung and the impossibility of deportation. 6. 2004 — Immigration and administrative consequences: Further proceedings concerned deportation, residence status, social assistance and access to medical care. The archive contains correspondence from lawyers, authorities and Charité, as well as records concerning the withdrawal of administrative litigation following assurances relating to residence permission. 7. 2005 — Acquittal and compensation: Amtsgericht Tiergarten reopened the criminal case, overturned the conviction of 19 July 2000 and acquitted Rustem Ismail. The court ordered publication of the overturned judgment in the Bundesanzeiger, recognised entitlement to compensation for the conviction and assigned the relevant proceedings’ costs and necessary legal expenses to the State Treasury.
