The wife of the convicted war resister Agustin Aguayo is vowing to continue to fight for her husband’s release from a military prison. Aguayo was sentenced last week to an eight-month term. Helga Aguayo spoke at a news conference Monday in Germany, where her husband is detained.

Helga Aguayo: “What I do want now is my husband to be released, which will happen in 40-45 days. We pursue it legally, and that he is found to be a conscientious objector, one, that his conviction of desertion is overturned, two, and that he is given an honorable discharge. That’s all I hope for.”
