Petra Karin Kelly was a German Green politician and activist. She was a founding member of the German Green Party, the first Green party to rise to prominence both nationally in Germany and worldwide.
Assassination
Chris Busby believes she was assassinated:[1][2]
She was assassinated, [...] they say well she was killed by her boyfriend who was Gert Bastian, he was an ex-Stasi guy. But it's obvious rubbish, you know, she was obviously assassinated and I know why [...]
Petra Kelly was more or less the head of the German greens and she was she was absolutely anti-nuclear and the German greens at that time were like an anti-nuclear party, is what they were. She, I think there was a reason for it that I think her sister died of leukemia or something like that. My friend Bill Pritchard who I stood in the election in 1994 in Wales on the on the basis that the [uninteligeble] nuclear power station was dangerous and it had all sorts of cracks in the pressure vessel and this and that. And they were trying to get it to continue to operate and we had seen what happened in Chernobyl, so we wanted to stop it. And that was why we chained ourselves up and so forth, but he asked Petra Kelly to come and talk, you know to support him in that election and she said yes she was going to come from Germany. But then then what happened is, she was assassinated. And later in 1998 I met Ernest Sternglass in Münster, and I went there for a conference for the German radiological protection society. And he told me that he met her, Petra Kelly and she was really excited about all sorts of information that she got from some guy, a Russian scientist who was going to blow the whistle on what was happening after Chernobyl, all the people who were dying, all the cancers all the leukemias, this and that. And she had negotiated a series of programs with German TV, to talk about the health effects of the Chernobyl accident.
[...] everybody said oh she was really depressed, I mean this was the story that came out from Sarah Parkin, [who] wrote a book about this you know "The Life and Death of Petra Kelly" or something like that [...] Sarah Parkin said in her book how depressed Petra Kelly was and that's why she killed herself. [...] that was just a lie because Ernest said that he'd talk to her and that she and this guy had this series that was coming out on German television, in which they're going to say how everybody was dying as a result of the of the radiation from Chernobyl ...
