German neo-Nazi Marla Svenja Liebich was transferred to a men's prison on Thursday, despite being legally registered as a woman.
Liebich changed the legal gender entry from male to female and adopted the first names Marla Svenja in 2025. Critics described the move as a provocation and an abuse of Germany's self-determination law.
What do we know about the decision?
The management of a women's prison in the eastern city of Chemnitz made the decision after Liebich was extradited from the Czech Republic on Wednesday.
Liebich was initially taken to the Chemnitz facility but was moved later that day to Zeithain prison in the Meissen district, the state of Saxony's Justice Ministry told the dpa news agency.
