A German neo-Nazi provocateur, Marla-Svenja Liebich, has been transferred to a men’s prison after being extradited from the Czech Republic, despite being legally registered as a woman. Authorities say the decision was made by the women’s prison management with the safety of inmates in mind. Critics have described the move as an attempt to exploit Germany’s gender self-determination rules.

German far-right activist transferred to men’s prison in transgender case

German authorities have transferred far-right activist Marla-Svenja Liebich to a men’s prison after her extradition from the Czech Republic. The 55-year-old, formerly known as Sven, had legally changed her gender entry to female in 2025.

Saxony’s justice ministry said the decision followed discussions with Liebich and a medical examination, while critics called it provocative.
