A few months later, while serving as a courier to take Bible literature from West Berlin to East Germany, I was arrested and taken to the city of Cottbus, where I was put on trial and sentenced to 12 years in prison.
Mõni kuu hiljem, kui mu ülesandeks oli toimetada kullerina piiblilist kirjandust Lääne - Berliinist Ida - Saksamaale, mind arreteeriti ja viidi Cottbusi linna, anti seal kohtu alla ning mõisteti 12 aastaks vangi.
