Horst Dohlus

Horst Dohlus (30 May 1925 – 28 April 2007) was a high ranking SED party functionary in the German Democratic Republic and a member of the country's National Legislative Assembly (''Volkskammer'').

In 1995, following reunification, Dohlus was one of those who stood trial on serious criminal charges resulting from some of the policies which East Germany's ruling party had enforced. As a result of that trial, in 1997, the country's last head of state, Egon Krenz, found himself given a six-year prison sentence by the court. However, due their personal health issues, the trial of four of the accused, including Dohlus, was not able to proceed to a conclusion. Provided by Wikipedia
