So maybe the imprisonment part was not one of their crimes. Right?
I think that most of the prisoners were innocent, thus unlawfully incarcerated.
Also, I would include in the charges:
- Cruelty to animals;
- Desecration of dead human bodies.
Considering the times, I don't think cruelty to animals was something that was really punished legally. I think the authorities would be too fixated on the cruelty to humans to even notice the animals.
You're right, laws against animal abuse in the German empire were only established around 1870.
But, for instance, if the events of Amnesia had happened in England, what Alexander did to the dogs would have been considered a crime.
